Arsen Julius Darnay (born July 31, 1936 in Budapest) is a Hungarian-American science fiction writer.
Darnay emigrated to the United States in 1953.[1] His first science fiction stories were published in Galaxy Science Fiction in 1974–75,[1] after being purchased by editor Jim Baen;[2] Mike Ashley has estimated that of all Baen's discoveries, Darnay was "the most prolific (...) at least for the next four years before he moved on to become a management consultant."[2]
