    Gary Gibson

    Gary Gibsons first novel, Angel Stations, was published in 2004. Interzone called it dense and involving, puzzling and perplexing. Its unabashed science fiction, with an almost Golden Age feel to it ...

    His second novel was Against Gravity in 2005; the Guardian described it as building on current trends to produce a convincing picture of the world in 2096.

    Stealing Light was first published in 2007, and garnered a wide range of positive reviews. The London Times called it: A violent, inventive, relentlessly gripping adventure ... intelligently written and thought-provoking.

    Stealing Light is the first volume in a three-part series which takes the notion of wide-screen baroque space opera to its heart and runs with it. The second volume, Nova War, is published in hardback in the UK in September 2009, while the third volume will follow in 2010.

    Prior to becoming a professional writer, Gary Gibson worked for an environmental agency, but left shortly after members of staff attempted to levitate a local bridge as a protest against road traffic.

    Following this, he worked as a graphic designer for a printing firm that turned out to be run by convicted forgers, hastening his departure: and then for a small publishing company otherwise notable only for producing a Freddie Mercury impersonator well-known on the Scottish cabaret circuit. He currently resides in Taipei with his wife, where the only lunatic he has to answer to now is himself.
