Stephen Baxter
At one stage it looked as though he was set to be an astronaut, but fortunately – at least, for a whole generation of readers who have been inspired by his novels – Stephen Baxter preferred to voice his dreams on paper, and hasn't looked back since.
Originally a mathematician from Cambridge University, with a Phd from Southampton, Stephen sold his first short stories to Interzone in 1986, promptly becoming a prizewinner in the Writers of the Future contest. Since then his novels have won him the 1996 John W. Campbell Award and nominations for the Hugo and the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Science Fiction.
Stephen is today described as the greatest science fiction writer of his generation, and compared in the same sentence with H. G. Wells and Arthur C. Clarke. From his novels of the Xeelee sequence to The Time Ships (in which he celebrated the centenary of the publication of H.G. Wells's classic The Time Machine) and then Voyage, Titan and Moonseed, he consistently manages to "send into free-fall the most awesome ideas in science fiction today ..." (The Times).
