His novel ''The Web Between the Worlds'', featuring the construction of a Space Elevator , was published almost simultaneously with Arthur C. Clarke 's novel about that very same subject, '' The Fountains Of Paradise '', a coincidence that amused them both. For some years he was the chief scientist of Earth Satellite Corporation, a company analysing satellite data. This resulted in many technical papers and two popular non-fiction books, ''Earthwatch'' and ''Man on Earth'', both collections of false colour and enhanced images of Earth from space. He won the Nebula and Hugo awards for his novelette " Georgia On My Mind " and the 1992 John W. Campbell Memorial Award for his novel ''Brother to Dragons''. He had been writing a column for the Baen Books web site; his last column concerned the discovery of the Brain Tumour that led to his death. He was married to writer Nancy Kress .
