Robert J. Sawyer—dubbed “the dean of Canadian science fiction” by the Ottawa Citizen and the CBC—has won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Science Fiction Novel of the Year; a record-setting 16 Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Awards (“Auroras”); the top science-fiction awards in China, Japan, France, and Spain; an Arthur Ellis Award from the Crime Writers of Canada; and over 50 other national and international writing awards. He is a member of both the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario and was one of the nine initial inductees into the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. Maclean's says, “By any reckoning, Sawyer is among the most successful Canadian authors ever.” Rob's 26 bestselling novels include Quantum Night (longlisted for Canada Reads) and FlashForward (the basis for the ABC TV series of the same name).
