Hubert Monteilhet
Hubert Monteilhet, né le 10 juillet 1928 à Paris, est un écrivain français. Il s'impose d'abord comme auteur de romans policiers (Les Mantes religieuses), puis comme auteur de romans historiques (Les Derniers Feux, Néropolis, La Pucelle).
Les commentateurs voient en lui un héritier des romanciers libertins du XVIII siècle. Il se distingue par des intrigues originales, des personnages totalement amoraux, une plume incisive, élégante et parfois licencieuse, une liberté de ton, un humour mordant.

Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. His published works, both fiction and non-fiction, express admiration for competence and emphasize the value of critical thinking. His plots often posed provocative situations which challenged conventional social mores. His work continues to have an influence on the science-fiction genre, and on modern culture more generally.
