Murray Leinster è lo pseudonimo dell'autore americano di spessore William Fitzgerald Jenkins. Leinster è stato un scrittore molto prolifico, in particolare nei generi di storia alternativa e fantascienza. La sua scrittura ha spaziato su vari altri generi, tra cui horror, fantasy, fiction pulp, fiction western e mystery. Nel corso della sua carriera, Leinster ha scritto e pubblicato più di 1.500 articoli e racconti, centinaia di sceneggiature per la televisione e la radio e 14 sceneggiature cinematografiche.
Leinster è nato il 16 giugno 1896 a Norfolk, in Virginia, negli Stati Uniti. Suo padre, George Jenkins, era un contabile e sua madre, Mary Jenkins, una casalinga. Sebbene entrambi i genitori di Leinster provenissero dalla Virginia, la famiglia si trasferì a Manhattan nel 1910.
La carriera di Leinster come scrittore è durata sei decenni, durante i quali ha scritto storie misteriose e avventurose nei suoi primi anni e fantascienza nei suoi anni successivi. È stato uno scrittore altamente professionale e abile, producendo costantemente lavori di alta qualità negli anni. Nel 1956, Leinster ha vinto il Premio Hugo per il suo novelette "Exploration Team" e nel 1995, il Sidewise Award for Alternate History è stato nominato in onore del suo classico racconto "Sidewise in Time". L'ultimo lavoro originale di Leinster è stato pubblicato nel 1967. I suoi contributi al mondo letterario sono stati significativi e la sua eredità come scrittore continua ancora oggi.
