J.C. Gemmell
With scientist parents and steady exposure to the original Star Trek and Asimov’s boundless imagination, J.C. Gemmell was always surrounded by sci-fi stories. Despite the lure of fantasy sagas—Eddings, Tolkien and then Donaldson—a battered copy of Logan’s Run made him realise speculative futures were where the best stories lived.
Fast-forward a couple of decades, and he was deep in the world of computer science, riding the wave of technology before it was cool (or at least before it ruled the world). Eventually, he bought a home computer (for fun) and, instead of doing anything sensible with it, unleashed years of pent-up creativity.
Now, J.C. Gemmell crafts rich, unsettling visions of the future, blending intricate plots, diverse characters
