Gleason, Robert
Entry updated 9 January 2023. Tagged: Author.
(1945- ) US editor (at Tor Books) and author who published some nonfiction and pseudonymous Westerns before releasing his first sf novel, Wrath of God (1994), a Post-Holocaust tale pitting iconic heroes of a confabulated stalwart American past, who have been transported to the scene by a Time Machine operated by an Apache shaman, against the dark-hued superstitious Muslim minions of a reborn Tamerlane. The plot thickens. For details of Gleason's collaborative continuations of the Aztec sequence begun by Gary Jennings – whose later volumes move into a lurid Near Future at the edge of apocalypse – see his current collaborator on this sequence, Junius Podrug.
