About the author

1,041 books3,122 followersYes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.
I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps.
I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest.

It was an OK read. It's a very short story set in the Terra Incognita universe. However it doesn't really add anything to that universe- the series thus far has made clear how people can be blinded by their faith and the rash actions they take to preserve their point of view. In that sense, this is a good vignette to someone who is new to series or to evoke some interesting discussions.
I'm a fan of Terra Incognita, but I personally would have preferred to see a little more happen or to see something different from the rest of the series. One particular thing that nagged at me was that at the end of the story, you couldn't tell that the character had grown or changed in any (positive?) way.
The lyrics and stories behind their rock album was a good addition, though.
