W.A.Harbinson was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1941. He left school at 14, went to live in England at 17, then emigrated to Australia at 19, serving for six years in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Returning to England, he lived in London for twenty years, but now divides his time between West Cork, Ireland, and Paris, France.

Harbinson is the author of a wide variety of novels, including his best-selling science fiction epics, Genesis and Revelation. The original Genesis was then used as the basis for his 5-volume ‘Projekt Saucer’ series, which includes, in sequence, Inception, Phoenix, Genesis, Millennium and Resurrection, all published in Great Britain by New English Library. Though the series has remained in print for most of the past decade, it has never been published in the United States.

Harbinson’s work for radio includes the science fiction play, Astronaut, broadcast by the BBC many years ago.

With the completion of RESURRECTION (1999), the final volume in the ‘Projekt Saucer’ series, Harbinson stopped writing science fiction. He now writes as Shaun Clarke.
