博客來Raised in Saratoga Springs, New York, John D. DeSain earned a bachelor of science in chemistry from Siena College before receiving a PhD in physical chemistry at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
DeSain originally worked in a combustion chemistry field of a national laboratory, focusing on reaction kinetics, thermochemistry, and propulsion science. He’s now employed as a research scientist in California’s aerospace industry, investigating space propulsion systems, space debris, ozone destruction, and climate change, topics that have a tendency to creep into his writing.
A lover of mysteries, science, and classic literature, DeSain’s favorite authors are Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Agatha Christie, and Stephen Jay Gould. His favorite comedian is George Carlin. Like Carlin, he delights in exposing the silliness society takes all too seriously.
