Alexander Lamb splits his time between writing science fiction, software engineering, teaching improvised theater, running business communication skills workshops, and conducting complex systems research. He currently lives in Princeton, NJ with his wife, Genevieve Graves, an astrophysicist also at the university there, and their three month old son.
Nemesis is a very entertaining action novel with some great science
fiction. I loved the concept of the Roboteer in the previous novel
and I still do here. There is some really intriguing science to go
with the action, as well as some well-drawn characters, some great
spaceships and some very memorable habitats and aliens. I want
wonder from science fiction and this novel provides it, as well as
a fair bit of horror, but most of all it is fun and put me on the
edge of my seat. It is also a great size! I love a science fiction
brickbook that I can lose myself in for a few days and when I
finished Nemesis I was more than ready for part three.
*For Winter's Nights*
Lamb shares Hamilton's ability to sustain a breakneck narrative
where you always want to rush ahead and see what happens next.
hugely promising
*SFX*
Roboteer hits the ground running...Lamb handles the politics
without resorting to info dumps and in Will has created a
sympathetic and well-rounded hero
*The Guardian*
Lamb's got so many ideas that they almost spill off the pages, and
telling the story from both sides is a smart way of balancing the
argument
*Sci-Fi Now*
Alex Lamb has crafted a terrific debut novel. If the subsequent
volumes are as good as this one then Lamb will surely be prominent
in many an SF fan's bookcase
