| English author Robert Appleton maintains he was born a century too late. His love of science fiction began with boyhood jaunts through the worlds of Wells, Verne and E.R. Burroughs. Then he found Patrick O’Brian’s maritime epics and vowed to sail the seas. A natural adventurer, he often writes stories set in Earth orbit, or survival-themed odysseys on alien planets. Dogged Englishness abounds! But like those authors’, his tales are tinged with romance and the excitement of discovery.
When he isn’t reading, Robert can be found either gliding on the sea in his kayak or racing around the football pitch like a madman.
