David R. Palmer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David R. Palmer (b 1941 in Chicago[1]) is a science fiction author who has been nominated twice for Hugo Awards. He is married and lives in Florida [1], where he works as a court reporter.
[edit] Published works
His first novel, Emergence (ISBN 0-553-25519-3), won the Compton Crook Award in 1985. It arose from a short story by the same title featured in an Analog anthology called Children of the Future; both versions also won reader's choice awards from Analog.
His second novel, Threshold (ISBN 0-553-24878-2), was published as the first book in the To Halt Armageddon trilogy[2] in 1985, to somewhat lesser acclaim. The "About the Author" section of Threshold states that David is "currently working on the sequel to Threshold, also to be published by Bantam"[1], to be called Spēcial Education[3], although it has not been published to date. He stated in the afterword to the 1990 edition of Emergence that any future writing would depend upon his finances; as he has published nothing further, it may be surmised that he has been unable to resolve the situation.[4]
