Poul Anderson
Poul Anderson (1926–2001) grew up bilingual in a Danish American family. After discovering science fiction fandom and earning a physics degree at the University of Minnesota, he found writing science fiction more satisfactory. Admired for his “hard” science fiction, mysteries, historical novels, and “fantasy with rivets,” he also excelled in humor. He was the guest of honor at the 1959 World Science Fiction Convention and at many similar events, including the 1998 Contact Japan 3 and the 1999 Strannik Conference in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Besides winning the Hugo and Nebula Awards, he has received the Gandalf, Seiun, and Strannik, or “Wanderer,” Awards. A founder of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, he became a Grand Master, and was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. In 1952 he met Karen Kruse; they married in Berkeley, California, where their daughter, Astrid, was born, and they later lived in Orinda, California. Astrid and her husband, science fiction author Greg Bear, now live with their family outside Seattle.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very entertaining short
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Once enslaved by humans, Martians have been emancipated by new liberal government. Since then, it has become illegal to kill them, but the law is of no concern to Riordan, a renowned interplanetary game hunter from Earth. He travels to the red planet hoping for a chance to bag one of the natives. A local guide equips Riordan and sets him on the trail of Kreega, an experienced and reclusive Martian warrior who despises humans. This is precisely the kind of challenge Riordan craves, but will this hunt be his last?
