Bob Sawyer entrou na banda no final de 1976 como segundo guitarrista; mas, como tinha desentendimentos com Murray, fez Dennis Wilcock se opor a Dave, e então Dennis sugeriu a expulsão dele. Bob não ficou para trás e por suas atitudes errôneas no palco (como fingir tocar a guitarra com os dentes), foi junto em julho de 77.

Style and themes
Sawyer's work frequently explores the intersection between science and religion, with rationalism winning out over mysticism (see especially Far-Seer, The Terminal Experiment, Calculating God, and the three volumes of the Neanderthal Parallax (Hominids, Humans, and Hybrids), plus the short story "The Abdication of Pope Mary III," originally published in Nature, July 6, 2000).

He also edited the newsletter of the Canadian Region, called Alouette in honor of Canada's first satellite; the newsletter was nominated for a Prix Aurora Award fo...

Professional associations
In 1998, Sawyer was elected president of SFWA on a platform that promised a referendum on various contentious issues, including periodic membership requalification and the creation of a Nebula Award for best script; he won, defeating the next-closest candidate, past-SFWA-president Norman Spinrad, by a 3:2 margin. However, Sawyer's actual time in office was marked by considerable opposition to membership requalification and negative reaction to his dismissing, with the majority support of the...
