Alexander Jablokov

Alexander Jablokov was born in Chicago of Russian ancestry and worked for years in Boston as a communications engineer before becoming a full-time writer in 1988. Apart from his short fiction, often reprinted in the best-of-the-year anthologies, Jablokov's critically acclaimed novels include CARVE THE SKY (1991), A DEEPER SEA (1992), and NIMBUS (1993), a triumvirate of works that sent reviewers scurrying back to Alfred Bester and Samuel R. Delany for appropriate comparison. An avid environmentalist and hiker, the author resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with his wife Mary.
