Brian Aldiss was born in Norfolk in 1925. During the Second World War he served in the British Army in the Far East. He began his professional career as a bookseller in Oxford and then went on to become Literary Editor of the Oxford Mail. For many years Brian Aldiss was a film reviewer and poet. The three outspoken and bestselling novels making up The Horatio Stubbs Saga (The Hand-Reared Boy (1970), A Soldier Erect (1971), and A Rude A wakening (1978)) brought his name to the attention of the general book-buying public, but in the science fiction world his reputation as an imaginative and innovative writer had long been established. Non-Stop, his first SF novel, was published in 1958, and among his many other books in this genre are Hothouse (published in 1962 and winner of the Hugo Award for the year's best novel), The Dark Light Years (1964), Greybeard (1964) and Report on Probability A (1968). In 1965, the title story of The Saliva Tree, written as a celebration of the centenary of H. G. Wells, won a Nebula Award. In 1968, Aldiss was a voted the United Kingdom's most popular SF writer by the British Science Fiction Association. And in 1970, he was voted 'World's Best Contemporary Science Fiction Author'. Brian Aldiss has also edited a number of anthologies, a picture book on fantasy illustration (Science Fiction Art(l975)) and has written a history of science fiction, Billion Year Spree (1973). The first two volumes of the epic Helliconia trilogy, published to critical acclaim, are Helliconia Spring (1981) and Helliconia Summer (1983).
