作者简介
FRANK HERBERT, who created Dune, was born in 1920 and spent most
of his early life in the Pacific Northwest of America. He was a
professional photographer, journalist and occasional oyster-diver;
he also had stints as a radio news commentator and jungle survival
instructor. BRIAN HERBERT, his son, is a widely-published science
fiction author in his own right. This is his first novel to call on
his father's work: previously, he has created his own worlds,
sometimes in collaboration. He has also written Dreamer of Dune, a
comprehensive biography of his illustrious father. KEVIN J.
ANDERSON is best known for his world-wide best-selling novels based
on the universes of Star Wars and the X Files: he has been a Sunday
Times number one bestseller. He is also the author of several more
critically-acclaimed original novels. An expert on the US space
programme, he worked at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
for ten years.
