Work

A scientific details around his operate come such that he is ordinarily classified as a hard science fiction author, but a bit of of his speculations are non equally rigorous all told of his works.

Supplementary recent works like a Darwin's Radio/Darwin's Babies pair of novels which treat using the impact of a unknown disease which appears to drive evolutionary transitions, stick closely to the known information of molecular biology of viruses and evolution.
