The Long Symphony: and other stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546422518)

Mike Williamson is a British writer, who has spent a great amount of his life working in the aerospace industry. This gives him some technical knowledge that is useful in his stories. He also lives with a physicist, who tries to correct those details he frequently gets wrong! He cut his SF teeth on Amazing and Astounding pulp fiction, among others, and was captivated by the breadth of vision of authors, such as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and the whimsicalness of Ray Bradbury. Along the way, he took in Dickens and Poe, Mark Twain and Homer, Marvell and Astrid Lindgren, and many, many more. Books flew into his eager hands to be devoured at quiet 'Almost' times.
