Secondary pseudonym of UK writer Reginald Alec Martin (1908-1971), better known for his Children's SF written as by E C Eliott (whom see for full entry). He used Bernard for an sf novel, The Wheel in the Sky (1954), which datedly concerns itself with the construction of a pre-NASA-style, privately financed Space Station, and for an Invaders Tie, The Halo Highway (1967; vt Army of the Undead 1967). (References listing Bernard as a pseudonym of Keith Laumer are incorrect.) [JC/SH]
