Robert Silverberg is the only author to have won major
SF awards (five Nebulas and five Hugos!) in every
decade from the 1950s to the 2000s. Through such
classic novels as To Open the Sky, Dying Inside, and
The Alien Years, and some 400 short stories,
Silverberg has both shaped and elevated speculative
fiction. In 2004 he joined Heinlein, Asimov and Clarke
as an official "Grand Master" of the Science Fiction
Writers of America, but refused to take the hint and
sit down and shut up. A native of NY, he has been
living and writing in the Bay Area since 1972.

Kim Stanley Robinson is the bestselling author of Red
Mars (followed by Green and Blue), The Years of Rice
and Salt, and the cautionary global-warming saga
begun in Forty Signs of Rain and Fifty Degrees Below.
He too has won every major award in SF, and several of
the piddling ones as well.

Coming April 18:
RUDY RUCKER and JOHN SHIRLEY
