He spent his early years in Cornwall, moved back to Wales before going to Newcastle, where he read physics and astronomy. Afterwards, he earned a PhD from St Andrews, Scotland. In 1991, he moved to Noordwijk in the Netherlands where he met his wife Josette (who is from France). There, he worked for the European Space Research and Technology Centre, part of the European Space Agency, until 2004 when he left to pursue writing full-time.

  • Alastair Reynolds is a Welsh author of a number of sci-fi novels, which have the tendency to be about as far up Mohs Scale of Sci Fi Hardness as it's possible to get while still remaining recognizably Space Opera. Of particular note is the total lack of Faster-Than-Light Travel in most of his books, despite their interstellar settings, and the extreme cultural divergences shown.

abstract
  • Alastair Reynolds is a Welsh author of a number of sci-fi novels, which have the tendency to be about as far up Mohs Scale of Sci Fi Hardness as it's possible to get while still remaining recognizably Space Opera. Of particular note is the total lack of Faster-Than-Light Travel in most of his books, despite their interstellar settings, and the extreme cultural divergences shown. Most of his books take place in the Revelation Space universe, where by the 26th century humans have achieved slower-than-light interstellar travel, and find themselves needing to discover why all the other intelligent species they find evidence of seem to have gone mysteriously extinct.
