Robert Gleason

Robert Gleason has dedicated nearly 30 years to researching the threat of nuclear terrorism and the possibility of nuclear annihilation.  He was recently featured in the History Channel special Prophets of Doom. 
He has also had an extremely long and exceptionally successful career as an acquisitions editor in New York publishing. 
For the last 28 years, he has worked at Tor/Forge Books, where he is executive editor. He has published more than a dozen novels on his own and coauthored several, most recently, Apocalypse 2012.
Robert Gleason has an AB in English literature from Indiana University, a masters degree in English from the University of Wisconsin and he attended the Sorbonne, all of which were financed by seven hellish years in the Gary steel mills.
 He has worked in New York book publishing as an acquisitions editor pretty much forever.
 When he began, he says, he and his colleagues chiseled books on the walls of caves.
