About this ebook
About the author
Frank M. Robinson (1926-2014) was an American science fiction and thriller writer whose work left an indelible mark on the genre. Born in Chicago, Robinson's early life was shaped by the Great Depression and World War II, experiences that infused his writing with a keen sense of social awareness and human struggle. After serving in the Navy during the war, he pursued a degree in physics, which later informed the scientific accuracy and speculative depth of his narratives.Robinson's career took off in the 1950s, a golden era for science fiction, when he began publishing stories that combined thrilling plots with thought-provoking themes. His work often explored the ethical implications of technological advancements and the complexities of human nature, resonating with readers during a time of rapid scientific progress and Cold War anxieties. One of Robinson's most significant contributions was his collaboration with Thomas N. Scortia on several novels, including "The Glass Inferno," which was adapted into the blockbuster film "The Towering Inferno." This partnership showcased Robinson's ability to blend scientific plausibility with gripping storytelling, influencing a generation of writers who sought to merge hard science fiction with mainstream appeal.Robinson was also a notable figure in the LGBTQ+ community, coming out as gay in the 1970s. His openness about his sexuality and his advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights were revolutionary at a time when such topics were often taboo. This aspect of his life added a layer of authenticity and courage to his work, making him a trailblazer not just in literature but in social progress as well.Frank M. Robinson's legacy endures through his innovative storytelling, his commitment to scientific and ethical inquiry, and his courageous personal life, all of which continue to inspire and challenge readers and writers alike.
