Robert E. Vardeman
A physicist turned prolific storyteller, equally at home in far-future SF, sword-and-sorcery, and the starship Enterprise.
Robert E. Vardeman is a remarkably prolific American author of science fiction and fantasy, with more than fifty novels to his name. A New Mexico mainstay — and a co-founder of the long-running Bubonicon convention — he came to fiction with a genuine science background, holding degrees in physics and materials science and having worked in solid-state physics research before turning to writing full time.
In science fiction he is well known for his original Star Trek novels, The Klingon Gambit and Mutiny on the Enterprise, alongside trilogies like Weapons of Chaos and Masters of Space and standalones such as The Sandcats of Rhyl. His fantasy runs deep too, from the Cenotaph Road science-fantasy sequence to collaborative epics, and he has written widely under various names.
Expect brisk, inventive, idea-aware adventure across the speculative shelves. The individual book pages are the best guide to each title's setting, tone, and content — every entry is content-rated and age-guided so you know exactly what you're getting into.
