Spotlight on Niels Dalgaard
Is it possible to research science fiction? Yes, that is certainly the answer if your name is Niels Dalgaard, Eurocon Fan Guest of Honour. Niels has what is presumably the only ph.D. in Denmark in SF and has written a score of books on the subject, particularly about Danish SF since the 1970s. Read more here
Spotlight on Zoran Živković
Who said that science fiction was just about lasers and spaceships? Zoran Živković , Serbia’s own Paul Auster and Jose Luis Borges rolled into one, is continually moving beyond what SF and fantasy can be, mixing everything in new, innovative ways. The recipe is to tell mysterious, thought-provoking stories about the big themes in life, death and existence – in settings of technology, magic, surrealism and much more. Read more here
Spotlight on Anne McCaffrey
She wrote books about dragons long before Tolkien was dusted off and put on the big screen, and before J.K. Rowling turned fantasy into a genre all dared admit that they read. Eurocon Guest of Honour Anne McCaffrey has written both fantasy and science fiction with strong female leads for 4 decades now and is the first woman to have won the Hugo Award, the science fiction literature’s Oscar. Read more here about when you can meet McCaffrey at Eurocon.

He has a university degree in mathematics and engineering. He has trained to become a cosmonaut on Mir. Han collaborates on books with legendary author Arthur C. Clarke and he has already received numerous awards, including the British Science Fiction Awards.
