Robert K. G. Temple
Robert K. G. Temple (born 1945) is an American author best known for his controversial book The Sirius Mystery (published in 1976 though he began writing it in 1967).

He has also written several articles for Time Life and has contributed to journals such as the New Scientist.
He lives in England with his wife Olivia.
