Synopsis

Alan E. Nourse (1928-1992) was an American science fiction author and physician, noted especially for his SF works (such as Star Surgeon) combining both his interests. Robert A. Heinlein dedicated his 1964 novel, "Farnham's Freehold" to Nourse.His biggest claim to fame may be his novel, "The Bladerunner," which lent its name to the "Blade Runner" movie (no elements from the book were used in the film, which is based on Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep."
