Peter F. Hamilton

Né en 1960 en Angleterre, Peter F. Hamilton a débuté sa carrière d'écrivain en 1987. Il s'est très vite imposé comme l'un des piliers du renouveau de la SF britannique. Mais là où ses amis auteurs exploraient de nouveaux courants, Hamilton a préféré faire revivre l'émerveillement des grandes aventures spatiales chères aux grands auteurs de l'âge d'or : Asimov, Clarke et Heinlein. Dans ce domaine, ses cycles L'Aube de la nuit et L'Étoile de Pandore font référence. Il est le maître incontesté du space opera moderne !
