Geoffrey Hoyle

Geoffrey Hoyle

Geoffrey Hoyle (b. 1942) is an English science fiction writer, best known for the works which he co-authored with his father, the astronomer Fred Hoyle. About half of Fred Hoyle's science fiction works were co-authored with his son. [http://www.bookrags.com/biography/fred-hoyle/]

He was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset, and then entered Cambridge where he read fine arts. After 1964, Hoyle worked in London in the field of modern communications and the film/television industry. Unlike his father, he is not a scientist, and contributed to the more "human" side of their co-authored novels - however, he did work as a "scientific advisor" to some series such as "Timeslip".
