InterstellarNet series
"One of the most original, believable, thoroughly thought-out, and utterly fascinating visions ever of what interstellar contact might really be like." — Stanley Schmidt, editor of Analog
Ed's bookstore
Frontiers of Space, Time, and Thought
"If you only read one Hard SF book this year, make it this one. You won’t regret it."
— Tangent Online
Energized
"A taut near-future thriller about an energy-starved Earth held hostage by a power-mad international cartel … Lerner’s vision of the future is both topical and possible in this crisp, fast-paced hard SF adventure.”
—Publishers Weekly
Fools' Experiments

“When the artificial intelligences ... go maverick, they turn out to be the true weapons of mass destruction. A fast, fun read.”
— Sci Fi Weekly
Small Miracles
"Suspense and action enough to fuel any thriller, and even to drive it to the big screen." —SFrevu
Creative Destruction
"For its compelling vision of what could be, you will want take more than a glimpse of Creative Destruction.”
— Fast Forward: Contemporary Science Fiction
ARMAGEDDON / PARADISE -- two books in one
"A romp through time and history ... an intriguing selection." — Bookloons
Probe
"... A fast-paced, hold-on-to-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller"
— Illinois Quarterly
Moonstruck
“Moonstruck is not just another alien invasion novel, but truly an original performance." — Science Fiction Book Club
Fate of Worlds (FOW #5)
“Brings to a stunning close a multivolume saga that has captured the imaginations of a multitude of readers … a story that will attract attention from series fans as well as readers of hard sf.” — Library Journal
Betrayer of Worlds (FOW #4)
“Rescues, captures, kidnappings, reluctant temporary alliances, backdoor negotiations, propaganda campaigns, bluffs and double-bluffs, alien and cross-species politics, and, of course, betrayals. Lots of betrayals ... One hopes that Niven and Lerner come up with some additional twists and turns.” —Locus
Destroyer of Worlds (FoW #3)
"Combines sparkling wit and 'old school' hard sf with masterly storytelling and cosmic vision ... enjoy the return of good, old-fashioned sf, packed with ideas, philosophical musings, and plenty of space action." —Library Journal
Juggler of Worlds (FoW #2)
“A snazzy thriller/mystery that keeps us (and our hero) guessing until the very end ... Wide screen galactic scope, nifty super-science, crafty aliens, corporate corruption and cover ups, and a multi-leveled spy vs. spy vs. spy mystery with little being as it first appears make Juggler of Worlds a first class exemplar of pure SF entertainment.” —SFsite
Fleet of Worlds (FoW #1)
" ... Needs recommending within the science fiction community about as much as a new Harry Potter novel does – well, anywhere." —Locus

About Me
- Edward M. Lerner
- I'm a physicist and computer scientist (and an MBA, of less relevance to most of these posts). After thirty years in industry, as everything from individual technical contributor to senior vice president, I now write full-time. Mostly I write science fiction and techno-thrillers, now and again throwing in a straight science or technology article.
For a bibliography, more detailed biography, and lots more, visit my website. For occasional announcements sent direct to your mail box, join the Edward M. Lerner news group.
