Jerry Sohl (2 December 1913 – 4 November 2002; age 88) was a science fiction prose writer, who wrote three episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series. For television, he first ghost-wrote episodes of The Twilight Zone for Charles Beaumont, who was suffering from Alzheimers. He used the pseudonym of Nathan Butler for his credit on "This Side of Paradise" because he was displeased with D.C. Fontana's rewrite of his original script.
