SIMMONS, Geoffrey

SIMMONS, Geoffrey
(1943-)
   US writer and medical doctor whose first sf novel, The Adam Experiment (1978), set in an orbital space lab, features an experiment in human procreation which runs up against the fact that ALIENS have been monitoring Homo sapiens and will not permit us to breed off-planet. Pandemic (1980) is a medical sf thriller; Murdock (1983), a heavilyplotted tale involving CRYOGENICS, again makes some effective use of GS's medical expertise.
