Hampson \u003c\/b\u003ewrites character-driven hard SF where space is messy, unforgiving, and achingly human. His fiction blends medical problem-solving, nuts-and-bolts engineering, and the logistics of living off-Earth--from underground Martian habitats to orbital shipyards--with an eye on plausible technology and the true costs of rescue. By day, he's a professor of regenerative medicine, neuroscience, neurology, and biomedical engineering. By night, he digs into Mars geography, mission architecture, and bionics research so the science on the page feels lived-in and true.
