Mike A. Lancaster's love of science fiction was first forged at an early age by reading Gulliver's Travels, The War of the Worlds, and Journey to the Center of the Earth and watching Gerry Anderson shows, Doctor Who, Quatermass movies, and Star Trek. His previous novels, 0.4 and The Future We Left Behind, introduced a chilling techno-world where we only think we're in control. He lives with his wife, children, and a menagerie of pets in Peterborough, England.
