Author Description Barrington J. Bayley published work principally under his own name but also using the pseudonyms ofAlan Aumbry, Michael Barrington (with Michael Moorcock), John Diamond and P.F. Woods.<br /><br />Bayley was born in Birmingham and educated in Newport, Shropshire. He worked in a number of jobs before joining the Royal Air Force in 1955; his first published story, "Combat's End", had seen print the year before in UK-only publication <i>Vargo Statten Magazine</i>.<br /><br />During the 1960s, Bayley's short stories featured regularly in <i>New Worlds</i> magazine and later in its successor, the paperback anthologies of the same name. He became friends with <i>New Worlds</i> editor Michael Moorcock, who largely instigated science fiction's New Wave movement. Bayley himself was part of the movement. <br /><br />Bayley's first book, <i>Star Virus</i>, was followed by more than a dozen other novels; his downbeat, gloomy approach to novel writing has been cited as influential on the works of M. John Harrison, Brian Stableford and Bruce Sterling.<br /><br />
