Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alastair Mayer's short stories have appeared in several magazines and anthologies, often enough in Analog Science Fiction magazine to gain him entry to the "Analog MAFIA" (Members Appear Frequently In Analog). His T-Space (terraformed space) series now comprises six novels and several short stories. Born in London, England, he moved to Canada with his family as a young boy. He describes his interest in space flight and science fiction as genetic: his father, Douglas W.F. Mayer, had been an early member of the British Interplanetary Society as well as a science fiction fan (who in fact published some of Arthur C. Clarke's first tales in Amateur Science Stories). After leaving Queen's University in Kingston, Alastair became involved in both the L5 Society (now the National Space Society) and computers, publishing articles in Byte, Final Frontier, and other magazines, as well as becoming an accomplished scuba diver and a private pilot. In 1989 he moved to Colorado, where he still lives, and where he works for a satellite network company.
