About the author

I'm Al, I used to be a space scientist, and now I'm a writer, although for a time the two careers ran in parallel. I started off publishing short stories in the British SF magazine Interzone in the early 90s, then eventually branched into novels. I write about a novel a year and try to write a few short stories as well. Some of my books and stories are set in a consistent future named after Revelation Space, the first novel, but I've done a lot of other things as well and I like to keep things fresh between books.

I was born in Wales, but raised in Cornwall, and then spent time in the north of England and Scotland. I moved to the Netherlands to continue my science career and stayed there for a very long time, before eventually returning to Wales.

In my spare time I am a very keen runner, and I also enjoying hill-walking, birdwatching, horse-riding, guitar and model-making. I also dabble with paints now and then. I met my wife in the Netherlands through a mutual interest in climbing and we married back in Wales. We live surrounded by hills, woods and wildlife, and not too much excitement.

You'll find this in Deep Navigation .

Yet another one of Alastair's parallel universe, ridicilous nonsense stories.   Utter rubbish, to put it mildly.

I live in hope that he will soon get over this bizarre phase in his bibliography.   Next up in the timeline is The Sledge-Maker’s Daughter , and i think i'll throw my Kindle across the room if there's even a hint on one single parallel universe, let alone an infinite number of them.
