Brian Stableford:

Imagine you had never heard of Robert Silverberg or Philip K. Dick.

Imagine a writer who can do for Biology what Stephen Baxter can do for Physics.

Imagine epic voyages to the very edges of meaning and being. Intense speculations that are the very heart of explorative literature.

Brian Stableford has been writing Science Fiction since he and a school friend Craig A. Mackintosh sold Beyond Time's Aegis in the mid 1960s.

His writing has always subverted the genre, proving provocative and totally unpredictable.

He details weird and astonishing environments with outstanding clarity; from The Iron River in Cradle of the Sun, to the incredible climax of Chimera's Cradle.

Often sweeping in scope - not only in time and space, but also intellectually - Brian's fiction stretches and enriches his readers as it entertains them. He takes you from the darkest shadows of Plato's Cave and shows you the limitations of godlike percipience.

I can think of no writer whose oeuvre better deserves celebration and feel honoured that Mr. Stableford has permitted me to dedicate this web site to it.

Ian Braidwood.
