We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction, and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.

I started in this racket in the early '70s, and when I was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America, of which I was like the sixth president, I was the first one nobody ever heard of.

With him I couldn’t be anything but myself and that scared the crap out of me, because I had never existed like that before.

I hope I died honorably. I have a great deal to atone for. - Eler Nersal

'Farscape' is not what you call hard science fiction.

But I think, and hope, that the novels can be understood and enjoyed as science fiction, on their own terms.
