Olof Möller
Olof Möller (July 3, 1923, Riga – June 8, 1985, Solna) was a Swedish science fiction author.[1][2][3] He was very productive, though most of what he wrote can be classified as pulp, and is considered the most productive science fiction writer in Sweden. For instance, he published 29 pocket books in the Jaktrymdskepp X12 ("Fighter Starship X12") series between 1974 and 1980.
He was born in Riga in Latvia, the son of medical practitioner and scientist Maximilian Möller and the German-born author Camilla Möller. The family fled to Sweden in 1939. He graduated in 1941 from the Stockholm Institute of Commerce, and obtained a number of varied employments and own enterprises in his civil career. From 1976 to 1985 he was responsible for educational literature at the Military Academy in Stockholm.
