Richard C. Meredith

    Richard Carlton Meredith bol americký autor, ktorý sa preslávil svojimi science fiction príbehmi a románmi. Jeho diela sa často zaoberajú známymi sci-fi motívmi, no prinášajú do nich nečakané zvraty. Meredith skúma témy ako medzihviezdne konflikty, teokratické diktatúry, jadrovú vojnu a cestovanie v čase, často zasadené do alternatívnych historií. Jeho protagonistami sú zvyčajne oddaní jedinci, ktorí sa vrhajú do veľkých celovesmírnych bojov, aby zistili, že boli zmanipulovaní, alebo že ich najlepšie úmysly viedli k zhoršeniu situácie. Čitatelia u Meredithových kníh nemôžu očakávať šťastný koniec; mnohé jeho diela sa dajú zaradiť medzi dystopie, kde hrdinovia často nachádzajú hrdinskú smrť.
