Walter Jon Williams

Walter Jon Williams (born 15 October 1953) is an American writer, primarily of science fiction. Many of his novels have a distinct cyberpunk feel to them, notably Hardwired (also an homage to Roger Zelazny's novel Damnation Alley) and Voice of the Whirlwind. However, he has explored a number of different styles and genres, including humorous sf (e.g., the Majistral series), interstellar empires and warfare (Dread Empire's Fall series), alternate history (Wall, Stone, Craft), science fantasy (Metropolitan and City on Fire), disaster thriller (The Rift), and historical adventure (Privateers and Gentlemen series).
