A former marine
biologist and according to the US Department of Homeland Security, a
convicted felon and terrorist, Peter Watts’ acclaimed debut novel
Starfish (1999) was named a New York Times Notable
Book. He followed that success with the next three volumes of the
Rifters series:
Maelstrom (2001), Behemoth: B-Max (2004), and Behemoth:
Seppuku (2005). Blindsight (2006) has become a core text
in diverse un­der­grad­u­ate courses ranging
from phi­loso­phy to neu­ropsych. The sidequel
Echopraxia appeared in 2014. Crysis: Legion (2011)
novelized the game Crysis 2.

His numerous
award-winning shorter works have been collected in Ten Monkeys,
Ten Minutes (2001), BEYOND
THE RIFT (2013), the Polish Odtrutka na op­tymizm (2013),
and the French Au-delà du gouffre (2016).
For the Spring 2000 issue of On Spec, Watts produced the
frontispiece “Alien Intents.”

Starting with the
Hugo Award-winning “The Island” (2009), Watts began the
Sunflower Cycle about  the voyage of a jump gate-building ship
Eriophora. Their stories
continued in "Hotshot” (2014), “Giants” (2014), and
late this year in THE FREEZE-FRAME REVOLUTION.

All of us at Tachyon wish the amazing Peter a happy birthday!
