Poul Anderson

28 Series

Poul Anderson (1926-2001) was an American author renowned for his science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction, which he began writing during the genre's Golden Age. With a physics degree, Anderson's science fiction was noted for its scientific accuracy and well-developed, larger-than-life characters. He is also recognized as the father-in-law of fellow science fiction author Greg Bear.

Poul Anderson's works include several notable series and collaborations. The Hoka series, co-authored with Gordon R. Dickson, features humorous tales of alien beings. The Last Viking and King of Ys series were co-written with Karen Anderson, blending historical and fantastical elements. Inheritors of the Earth, co-authored with Gordon Eklund, explores themes of survival and legacy. The Unicorn Trade, another collaboration with Karen Anderson, delves into mythological themes. Anderson's diverse portfolio also includes standalone novels like The Enemy Stars, which focuses on space exploration and human endurance.
