What inspired George R.R. Martin, the creator of the hugely successful
Game of Throne franchise? Why did Lois McMaster, winner of six Hugo
awards, start writing science fiction? How did the Vietnam war
experience impact David Drake and his writing of military SF.
Get the answers to these and many other questions with these detailed
interviews of some of the most iconic figures in science fiction and
fantasy. These interviews show a very intimate, unknown side of these
authors; many sharing very personal experiences (the good and the bad)
that made them the writers that they are today.
Galaxy's Edge magazine is known for its interviews of science fiction
and fantasy professionals, and the list of writers and other
professionals it has published reads like a who's who of the field,
including George R.R. Martin, Mercedes Lackey, Larry Niven, Connie
Willis, Lois McMaster Bujold, David Drake and a host of other authors
every science fiction reader is familiar with.
This book collects all the interviews published in Galaxy's Edge
magazine from its inception through to its 34th issue. In many cases
these are expanded, original versions of the interviews published in the
magazine (which had to be originally condensed for due to limitations of
the magazine format).
Some of these conversations will make you think hard, some will make you
smile and laugh, and some may even make you cry. But what each and every
interview will do is give you a unique insight into the genre and the
lives of these giants of the industry.
