G. Harry Stine
A real-life rocket man who wrote the hard stuff because he'd actually helped build the future.
G. Harry Stine was an aerospace insider before he was a novelist — a pioneer of model rocketry, a working scientist at White Sands, and a tireless advocate for human spaceflight who counted Robert Heinlein among his friends. He brought all of that to his fiction, much of it written under the pen name Lee Correy.
As Correy he wrote hard science fiction steeped in real engineering and a genuine belief in the space frontier: Starship Through Space, Shuttle Down, Space Doctor, and stories that treated orbital construction and space medicine as plausible near-future enterprise. Under his own name he later wrote the Warbots military-SF series. His nonfiction championed space colonization with the same conviction.
Expect technically grounded, optimistic SF from a writer who knew rockets from the inside out. Stine is a strong pick for readers who like their science fiction with the science fully load-bearing — an author whose advocacy for the high frontier was as serious as his fiction was readable.
