Science Fiction

John Scalzi, a best-selling author of science fiction, has signed a $3.4
million, 10-year deal with the publisher Tor Books
that will cover his next 13 books.

Mr. Scalzis works include a series known as the Old Mans War and the
more recent Redshirts
,
a Hugo-award-winning sendup of the luckless lives of nonfeatured characters
on shows like the original Star Trek. Three of his works are being
developed for television, including Redshirts and Lock In
, a
science-inflected medical thriller that evokes Michael Crichton. Mr.
Scalzis hyper-caffeinated Internet presence through his blog, Whatever
, has made him an online celebrity as well.
