The organization (and the writers) are thinly disguised versions of the [[Mañana Literary Society]] and several of its members, including [[Robert A. Heinlein]], [[Jack Williamson]], [[L. Ron Hubbard]], [[John W. Campbell]], [[Jack Parsons]], and [[Edmond Hamilton]].  The book was dedicated: "For the Mañana Literary Society and in particular for Robert Heinlein and Cleve Cartmill".

* Anthony Boucher -- [[Anthony Boucher]]!
