Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1955- ) US author who began publishing sf with his Dreamers of the Day sequence – The Argus Gambit (1989) and The Eighth Rank (1991) – which complicatedly traces the political and cultural consequences of a twenty-first-century Ecological mystery that first threatens South American crops, then presages a possible worldwide Disaster. The seriousness with which he undertakes the task of underlining the nature of the problems faced by humanity in the Near Future goes some way to assuage the sense that Ross has not fully mastered the unstable relationship between generic plotting and didactic thematic material.
