Murray Fletcher Pratt byl výrazný hlas v literatuře, známý svým osobitým prózou, která připomínala styl Bernarda DeVota. Jeho dílo zahrnuje jak podmanivé fantasy příběhy, tak i důkladné historické práce, zejména v oblasti námořní historie a americké občanské války. Proslavil se fantasy spoluprací s L. Sprague de Campem, která vtipně zkoumala hranice reality a magie. Prattův přístup k psaní byl hluboce ovlivněn jeho zájmem o detaily a přesnost, což se projevuje jak v jeho fiktivních světech, tak v jeho historických pojednáních.
