Howard W. Lewis has always been fascinated by the science fiction tales that appear in comic books, on television, and in the movies. He spent six years serving in the United States Navy aboard nuclear submarines, and followed that with a career in the nuclear power generation industry. With a lifetime of experience grounded in science facts, he maintains that the concept of life beyond the confines of our planet is not only probable, but a reality for those adventurous enough to dream and write of the possibilities.
