P. Edward Auman is a top secret NASA engineer and biochemist by day and short story author by night. He has traveled to Mars on a mission to repopulate the planet with indigenous life, and previously took James Cameron on his first trip down to the Titanic to pinpoint the location for the director. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on bio-fuel producing algae. However, the activity for which Eddie is most famously known is his creation of 43 clones to assist him in all of his many ventures. 42 clones survive today, following a mishap with a gene-splice bio-fuel algae agent, to which Eddie responded, “42’s probably good enough. It is the normally accepted answer to the Universe and everything in it anyway.”
