Kevin J. Anderson

Kevin J. Anderson fascinates me as a study in literary stamina. He has written across some of the biggest franchises in genre fiction, from Star Wars to The X-Files to the Dune prequels with Brian Herbert, while still building original universes like the Saga of Seven Suns. What I admire is the discipline behind that volume, and I suspect his physics training gives his speculative ideas an extra layer of plausibility. There is something deeply professional, almost artisanal, about a writer who can serve both the demands of a shared universe and his own imagination. He embodies the working novelist at full throttle.
