An Interview with Author Jack McDevitt
https://michaelprelee.com/2017/03/22/...
This series of author interviews has allowed me to speak with some incredible people and I’m very grateful to everyone who has participated. This interview is with author Jack McDevitt, who has been a writing inspiration to me since I read his novel Polaris. His Academy series and Alex Benedict novels are original and consistently optimistic in their view of humanity’s future. I’m very happy I had this opportunity to speak with him and bring this interview to you. I recommend everyone get their hands on his novels and give them a try.
Jack McDevitt has been described by Stephen King as “the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.” He is the author of twenty-two novels, eleven of which have been Nebula finalists, and more than eighty short stories. Seeker won the Nebula for best novel in 2007. In 2003, Omega received the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best science fiction novel. He won the Georgia Writers’ Association Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. His first novel, The Hercules Text, won a special Philip K. Dick Award in 1986. He has received various other honors. Most recently, the International Astronomical Union named an asteroid for him.
A best-of collection of his stories is available in Cryptic, published by Subterranean Press.
