Michael Z. Williamson

Michael Z. Williamson ist ein renommierter Autor von Military Science Fiction-Romanen, am besten bekannt für seine Freehold-Reihe. Williamson wurde in Birkenhead, England geboren und verbrachte seine Kindheit mit Umzügen in verschiedene Städte und Ortschaften in England, Kanada und den Vereinigten Staaten aufgrund der Umzüge seiner Familie. Im Alter von 18 Jahren schloss er sich der USAF an, was ihm ermöglichte, verschiedene Teile der Vereinigten Staaten zu bereisen.

Williamson ist nicht nur Schriftsteller, sondern auch ein aktiver Teilnehmer an historischen Nachstellungen, ein Schmied, der Klingen herstellt, ein Fallschirmspringer, ein Kampfkünstler, ein Wanderer und ein Schütze von Waffen und Pfeilen. Seine Erfahrungen und Hobbys haben zweifellos zur Authentizität und Tiefe seiner Schreibarbeit beigetragen.

Williamson hat sich als angesehener Autor von Militärfiktion und Science Fiction etabliert, wobei seine Werke breite Anerkennung gefunden haben. Sein Debütroman, Freehold, wurde 2004 veröffentlicht und ist für seine starke weibliche Hauptfigur bekannt. Der Roman spielt in der Zukunft, in der die Vereinten Nationen zu einem faschistischen Imperium geworden sind. Freehold ist der erste Band der Reihe und sein Erfolg führte zur Veröffentlichung mehrerer weiterer Bände, darunter The Hero, das Williamson gemeinsam mit dem New York Times Bestseller-Autor John Ringo schrieb. The Hero spielt in derselben Universum wie die Legacy of the Aldenata Buchreihe. Manchmal verwendet Williamson Pseudonyme wie Crazy Einer und Mad Mike, was seinem ohnehin beeindruckenden Werkskorpus hinzufügt.
