The Collected Stories of Greg Bear

Greg Bear is one of the greatest science fiction writers of the late twentieth century. He has a powerful voice, combining the intense rationality of science with the intensely passionate characters that can only be created by a writer who loves humanity. Bear's novel Moving Marswon the Nebula Award in 1994, and he did it again, in 2000, with Darwin's Radio. He has been honored with Hugo and Nebula nominations for novel-length work eight more times.
