abstract
  • Blish was a distinguished author of science fiction apart from his work with Star Trek. His written output included a set of different future histories that intertwined with each other on different levels – The Cities in Flight, and a collective series known as The Haertel Scholium. Blish pioneered a number of different concepts now found throughout science fiction: * The Spindizzy, which is a more comprehensive interstellar drive and spatial shield able to hurl entire cities into superluminal flight. * The concept of the anti-agathic drugs that prevent death from the effects of cellular aging and cell death. * Pantropy, or tecto-genetic engineering of Humans to permit colonization of planetary environments not normally considered remotely habitable to normal Humanity. * The Dirac transmitter, permitting instantaneous transmissions across the galaxy, and whose collective transmissions also transcend time. Blish was responsible for coining the term "gas giant" in the story "Solar Plexus" as it appeared in the anthology Beyond Human Ken when describing Jupiter. Blish died in Henley-on-Thames, England in 1975, and is buried in Oxford. His papers were left to the Bodleian Library at Oxford University.

This work was later built upon by Lin Carter in The King In Yellow: A Tragedy in Verse. Outside of the mythos, and after the bulk of his prolific and acclaimed writing career, he was well-known for authoring a large number of short story adaptations of original-series Star Trek episodes in his last years, plus the first ever original adult novel based upon the series, Spock Must Die!, which appeared in the same year as More Light. Blish spent these latter years of his life in the UK, and is buried at Oxford, near the grave of The Wind In The Willows author Kenneth Grahame.

Zu seinen berühmtesten Werken gehören unter anderem der Roman "A Case of Conscience", für den er 1959 einen Hugo Award erhielt, und die Tetralogie "Cities in Flight". Für Star Trek begann er 1967 die Drehbücher der Fernsehfolgen-Folgen in Romane umzuschreiben. Für die meisten Folgen standen ihm teilweise nur frühe Entwürfe von Drehbüchern zur Verfügung, wodurch einige seiner Adaptionen stark von den ausgestrahlten Folgen abwichen. Blish schrieb außerdem 1970 den zweiten originalverfassten Roman "Spock muß sterben!", nachdem Mack Reynolds 1968 "Mission nach Horatius" geschrieben hatte. Als Blish 1975 starb, beendete seine Frau J.A. Lawrence die beiden letzten verbliebenen Folgen und unter Verwendung seines Namens. Sie verfasste auch einen eigenen Roman "Die falschen Engel", in dem sie sowohl die Adaption von und , als auch eine neue Geschichte verarbeitete.
