Allen Steele is an American ScienceFiction writer, whose works generally tend towards the hard end of the {{Mohs Scale|ofScienceFictionHardness}}.
He is best known for his ''Near-Space'' series, which subverted expectations of InterplanetaryVoyage stories by turning the job of astronaut into a mundane, blue-collar job, and for his ''Literature/{{Coyote}}'' series about the colonization of the moon of a gas giant in another star system.
The ''Near-Space'' series consists of ''Orbital Decay'', ''Clarke County, Space'', ''Lunar Descent'', ''Labyrinth of Night'', and ''A King of Infinite Space''. Other works by Steele include ''The Jericho Iteration'', ''The Tranquility Alternative'', ''Oceanspace'', and ''Chronospace''.
!! Works with a page on this wiki:
* ''Literature/{{Coyote}}'' series
----
!! Tropes in his other works:
* AncientAstronauts: In ''Labyrinth of Night'', the builders of the famous face on Mars, and its associated underground complex.
* AsteroidThicket: Subverted in ''A King of Infinite Space,'' where the protagonist claims to expect the asteroid field to mirror his recollections of ''[[StarWars Empire Strikes Back]]'', only to discover the scientific reality of the asteroid field.
* CoitusUninterruptus: ''A King of Infinite Space'' has a slight subversion. The guy doing it is portraying a slave-owning villain, and part of that is a very public blowjob, all to get the protagonist to man up, escape, and try to rescue his girlfriend. It's part of a BatmanGambit.
* TheLastDJ: Harry Drinkwater from ''Lunar Descent''. He obeys all FCC regulations to the letter, yet manages to get fired from every DJ position he's ever held.
* OnlySmartPeopleMayPass: ''Labyrinth of Night'' features an alien complex on Mars entered through a series of locked doors with puzzles that require increasingly more intelligence to solve (and [[RagnarokProofing still-active]] {{death trap}}s for the unwary). The archaeologists were baffled by the last chamber, which just played music, until they brought in a musician to jam with it, proving we have culture as well as brains.
* PlatonicProstitution: The protagonist in "The Death of Captain Future" mentions that, at times, hiring a prostitute without actually engaging her services was the best way to get a decent place to sleep for the night.
* ShieldSurf: In ''Orbital Decay'', a construction worker putting together a space station manages to ride a huge curved piece of a re-entry shield (well, that and a parachute) back to Earth after the space station he had been constructing broke up in orbit.
