That win was well-deserved but I got to wondering how far back in his career he was writing award-caliber books before he snared the "Big One." The answer is: at least THIS far back.

Sawyer Eos, 1995 A murder mystery that deals with the very definition of life and death! Robert J Sawyer has never been an author to think small and he certainly didn't start in "The Terminal Experiment"!
