About the author

Poul Anderson (1926-2001) was a towering figure in the realm of science fiction and fantasy, whose prolific career spanned over five decades. Born in Pennsylvania to Scandinavian parents, Anderson's heritage deeply influenced his work, infusing it with rich mythological and historical elements. A graduate of the University of Minnesota with a degree in physics, Anderson's scientific background lent his stories a remarkable authenticity and complexity. Anderson's literary contributions are vast and varied, encompassing hard science fiction, fantasy, and historical novels. He was a master world-builder, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to blend scientific plausibility with imaginative storytelling. His works often explored themes of liberty, individualism, and the ethical implications of technological advancement, reflecting his libertarian views. One of Anderson's most notable achievements was his role in the formation of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), where he served as president. His influence extended to contemporary writers, including Greg Bear and Larry Niven, who admired his ability to weave intricate plots with profound philosophical questions. Controversially, Anderson's libertarian ideology sometimes sparked debate within the literary community, particularly his critiques of collectivism and authoritarianism. Despite this, his legacy as a visionary and a pioneer remains unchallenged. Anderson's work continues to inspire and provoke thought, making him a seminal figure in the evolution of speculative fiction.
