Author Comment / Biography:
Woodrow Wilson is a Caltech PhD with more than thirty years experience in research and development for the military and intelligence communities. He has explored space and other exotic environments in the laboratory and in the computer. He contributed to the design and testing of space-based and ground-based anti-ballistic missile defenses. He has studied chemistry at 10,000°F, 30,000 mph collisions, plus fires and explosions in zero gravity, the aurora borealis, and more. Wilson’s work in military applications of space puts the science in this hard science fiction work Dead Astronauts.
A retired research and development leader, Wilson supported Army management of medical research programs. Those developed medical defenses against chemical warfare agents. He also consulted on an Army program to field a new malaria drug, and to an Air Force anthrax program. He contributed to a quantitative assessment of the health effects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. His familiarity with the military medical research community lends realism to his second novel, The Utah Flu.
His interests are eclectic. He published The Champagne Taste/Beer Budget Cookbook offering restaurant quality meals without quality restaurant prices. He is a Distinguished Toastmaster, and a former Toastmaster District executive. He has addressed scientific meetings in Russia and Germany, and throughout North America. He addresses general audiences on technical and historical topics.
Wilson is a widower, living in northern San Diego County. His two sons and five grandsons live nearby. He is working on his next novel, Fish Story, a science fiction piece.
