Описание: Грегори (Грег) Альберт Бенфорд (Gregory Albert Benford, 30 января 1941 г.) - американский писатель и учёный, специалист в области астрофизики и физики плазмы. Интерес к фантастике Грегори проявлял с малых лет, уже с 8 лет он зачитывался романами Азимова, Брэдбери, Кларка, Хайнлайна... Вместе с братом Джеймсом, Тедом Уайтом и Терри Карром выпускал фэнзин «Void». Первым опубликованным литературным произведением Бенфорда стал рассказ «Stand-In», появившийся в 1965 году на страницах журнала «Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction». В 1969 году Бенфорда пригласили вести научно-популярную колонку в журнале «Amazing Stories», с тех пор популяризация науки стала чуть ли ни основным его «хобби». За долгие годы он написал более 300 очерков для десятков журналов и фензинов, а также выпустил несколько научно-популярных монографий как сольно, так и в соавторстве с Элизабет Марлатр. За свою долгую писательскую карьеру Бенфорд успел побывать во многих ипостасях. Писал сольные романы, самый известный из которых — «Панорама времен» получил целый букет премий, в том числе и знаменитую «Небьюлу». Выступал в межавторских проектах и создавал продолжения романов классических, в том числе и знаменитой «Академии» Азимова. Вместе с Мартином Гринбергом составил серию «альтернативных» антологий. Организовывал творческие дуэты со многими коллегами по цеху — Кларком, Брином, Эклундом... Выпустил пять сборников малой прозы. Номинировался на многие престижные премии и собрал неплохую коллекцию наград. Но все эти годы он оставался верным рыцарем науки и паладином научной фантастики.

CHAPTER ONE
SPRING, 1998
Remember to smile a lot, John Renfrew thought moodily. People seemed to like that. They never wondered why you kept on smiling, no matter what was said. It was a kind of general sign of good will, he supposed, one of the tricks he could never master. “Daddy, look—” “Damn, watch out!” Renfrew cried. “Get that paper out of my porridge, will you? Marjorie, why are the bloody dogs in the kitchen while we’re having breakfast?” Three figures in suspended animation stared at him. Marjorie, turning from the stove with a spatula in her hand. Nicky, raising a spoon to a mouth which formed an O of surprise. Johnny beside him, holding out a school paper, his face beginning to fall. Renfrew knew what was going through his wife’s mind. John must be really upset. He never gets angry. . . .

The woman who had gone in only three minutes before came back out. “What?!” Rachel Cohen let her surprise escape. The tall Asian woman shrugged, scowled, eyes rolling. “He just pointed to the door and frowned.” “What did you say?” “Well, he asked what tasks I wanted to work on. I said I could do just about anything. He asked for specifics. I didn’t really have any. So I trotted out some of the major problems I had heard of. I couldn’t say much, but some. Then he pointed to the door.” She fingered the plastic square in her hand, her shoulders slumped, and she sighed. She left on uncertain strides. Next up for the position of Trainee Librarian was a slim man, tall and self-assured. He got a beep on his sidekick, straightened his formal Eartherstyle toga, and went in eagerly, fixed smile. All the candidates were just up from Earthside and getting used to the low grav, but this man managed a confident step and a mere bit of a bounce as he went in. And came out in five minutes. Better than the tall Asian woman, at least. . . .
