[[http://rasalvatore.com/ Robert Anthony Salvatore]] (born 20 January 1959) is a prolific American SpeculativeFiction author from Leonminster, Massachusetts.

Though known mainly for his [[ExpandedUniverse licensed fiction]] and particularly as the creator of the ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' character [[Literature/TheLegendOfDrizzt Drizzt Do'Urden]], Salvatore also has a large library of original works to his name. Initially majoring in computer science, he changed his major to journalism after reading ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''. He published his first novel, ''[[Literature/TheIcewindDaleTrilogy The Crystal Shard]]'', in 1988.

He is a big guy, and before becoming a full-time writer, he worked as a bouncer. He credits some of the way he writes fight scenes to this job.

!!Tropes common in Salvatore's writing:
* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: He is unfortunately responsible for the much-maligned 1.2 million clone troopers number for ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and related material, having interpreted "units" as "individual clones" in his novelization. In ''Vector Prime'' he similarly placed Sernpidal orbiting its sun at the same distance the Moon orbits Earth.
