van Vogt was born to Russian Mennonite family. Until he was four years old, van Vogt and his family spoke only a dialect of Low German in the home.
He began his writing career with ‘true story’ romances, but then moved to writing science fiction, a field he identified with. His first story was Black Destroyer, that appeared as the front cover story for the July 1939 edtion of the popular "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine.

Children Of Tomorrow
Welcome home, Space Commander Lane. We know you’ve had a difficult time this past year evading those enigmatic, hostile aliens you encountered out there in the unmapped spaces between the stars. But you’ve also been gone a total of 10 yrs.– and things have changed back here on earth.
Take spaceport now—it’s a special city with peculiar problems all its own. So we kids had to organize and take care of each other—because our dads have been gone too long, and they’ll be just as surprised as you when they return. You see, we have the power now.
The Violent Man
Ruxton turned torture and brainwashing inside out. He had to. He was sentenced to death. But under the plan "Future Victory" his execution would be deferred for two years, while he was "taught’ to think as his enemies did. To resist his tormentors was futile. His only chance for survival was to maintain control of his own mind . . . whatever the price. And soon, he was engaged in a brutal psychological duel between captive and ruthless captor . . . until he realized the frightening similarity belween himself and the woman who held his life in her hands.
First published in 1962, this is not your average van Vogt novel.

Future glitter aka Tyranopolis
Dictator Lilgin held the entire Earth firmly under his thumb. Government-controlled science ruled: a superb communications network constantly monitored the population, and anyone who dared to question the regime or Lilgin’s supremacy was instantly and tidily eradicated. But the regime had reckoned without Professor Dun Higenroth. Higenroth had developed a radically new communications system that took no account of distance, that operated in the mind of its creator, without the need for equipment of any kind-and he intended to use it to expose Lilgin’s every move to the entire world. Lilgin had to learn the secret of that system if he was to remain in power. And so the subtle and deadly process of extracting the information from Higenroth’s mind began. But the full resources of the world government were to prove useless – FOR HIGENROTH HAD HIDDEN THE SECRET IN THE GENES OF A CHILD NOT YET BORN!
Masters of Time
Two people alone against all the forces of the ages. Norma was a helpless victim of the masters of time; Jack, who loved her, went willingly into slavery, hoping to find a way to release her from bondage. Both of them should have been destroyed, yet somehow, gaining strength from each other, they managed to retain some measure of their free will. But was it enough to save both of them – and, more important, to save Earth from the monstrous fate that the masters of time had decreed for it?
Quest For The Future
Worlds of differing probabilities and the constant search for immortality are the twin themes of this mind-toppling story. Expanding the enigmas of time, van Vogt carries the reader to the furthermost edges of past and future and outwards to a place where time loses all meaning.
