Prolific author Ib Melchior, a native of Copenhagen, Denmark, and still an active writer at 94, will discuss his exciting career, which began as a U.S. Office of Strategic Services counterintelligence agent behind enemy lines during WWII. The dangers he encountered provided material for fascinating espionage stories that later evolved into novels and films that moved beyond the war into sagas of outer space. From “Hitler’s Werewolves to The Angry Red Planet,” Melchior has kept pace with the ages. Son of the noted opera singer Lauritz Melchior, he has carved his own legend. In 1995, he was honored by the American Scandinavian Foundation in Thousand Oaks with its Outstanding Scandinavian American Award. Event will take place in the Roth Nelson Room at California Lutheran University. For more information, contact Anita Londgren at (805) 241-1051.
