[Biographie éditeur] Né en 1966 au Pays de Galles, Alastair Reynolds mène longtemps une double carrière, celle d'écrivain et d'astrophysicien au sein de l'Agence Spatiale Européenne, avant de se consacrer à la seule écriture en 2004. Au fil de ses premiers écrits, il brosse une fresque futuriste sans pareille qui l'installe bientôt au pinacle des créateurs d'univers : le Cycle des Inhibiteurs, immense succès de librairie. Hors cycle, on lui doit depuis divers recueils et une vingtaine de romans.
