Authors | Edward M. Lerner
Edward M. Lerner has degrees in physics and computer science (and, curiously enough, an MBA). Now writing SF full-time, Lerner worked in high tech for thirty years (including seven years as a NASA contractor), as everything from engineer to senior vice president. That experience includes techie havens (such as Bell Labs and Northrop Grumman), an Internet company, and a software start-up. It all shows up in his fiction.

His books include Probe, Moonstruck, the cyber-themed collection Creative Destruction, and, in collaboration with Larry Niven, the Fleet of Worlds series. Ed's latest solo novels are the near-future thrillers Fools' Experiments and Small Miracles.
