James Patrick Hogan (1941-2010) was born in London and worked as an engineer for several British and European technology companies before moving to the United States. His first novel, Inherit the Stars, was published in 1977 and became the opening book of his most popular series, the Giants sequence. He went on to write more than forty novels and several short story collections over a career spanning three decades.
Hogan’s fiction was driven by scientific ideas rather than action or character drama. He liked to pose a mystery, usually rooted in physics or biology, and then let his characters reason their way to a solution. His standalone novels covered topics from artificial intelligence (The Two Faces of Tomorrow) to alternate history (The Proteus Operation) to nanotechnology (Bug Park). He also wrote several non-fiction books on scientific controversies. After living in Florida and later Ireland, he died in 2010 at his home in County Kildare.
