An Alien Land by Mike Resnick

"If you think that Mike Resnick writes science fiction, you can be forgiven. Lots of people share your delusion. Certainly science fiction readers think so: they've nominated him for sf awards all over the world. He's been on the Hugo ballot 15 times (13 times for writing, twice for Best Editor) and won it three times. Japanese fans have nominated him the Seinn-Sho--that country's equivalent of the Hugo--5 times. A spanish jury, in giving him the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Prize, backed up their belief with a hefty cash award as well--a statement of conviction which should warm any writer's heart." - From the forward by Barbara Delaplace

About the Author

Michael Diamond Resnick (born Chicago, March 5, 1942), far better known as Mike Resnick, is a popular and prolific science Fiction author. The winner of 5 Hugo Awards plus other major awards in the USA, France, Japan, Spain, Croatia and Poland, he currently stands first on the Locus list of all-time award winners, living or dead, for short Fiction, and 4th on the Locus list of science Fiction's all-time top award winners in all Fiction categories.

He is also a long-time participant in science Fiction fandom. Always in demand as a speaker, he has been the Guest of Honor at some 30 science Fiction conventions, and Toastmaster at a dozen more. During his "starving-writer" and "starving-editor" days back in the 1960s and early 1970s, he wrote more than 200 "adult" novels under pseudonyms, edited seven tabloid newspapers, and edited a trio of men's magazines.

He also produced a weekly column on horse racing for more than a decade, and for eleven years wrote a monthly column on purebred collies, which he and Carol (to whom he has been married since 1961) bred and exhibited with remarkable success. His daughter, Laura Resnick, is also an award-winning and very popular science Fiction and fantasy author. Resnick's papers -- 125 boxes and still growing -- are in the Special Collections Library of the University of South Florida in Tampa.
