Writer: 10th Anniversary Edition

by Erec Stebbins

From Hatred, Love. From Many, One.

"Deeply thoughtful and exciting, warping the expectations of the genre...reminds me of Dan Simmons' Hyperion" -San Francisco Book Review

A love story and scifi epic about the beautiful and terrible destiny of profoundly star-crossed lovers with a galaxy's fate in their hands. Speculative fiction with time travel, metaphysical mysteries, action, adventure, cosmology, cybernetics, religion, and romance.


"A work of literary fiction that transcends its genre. Read this novel. Immediately." -Portland Book Review"Stebbins's trilogy remains both fascinating and unpredictable. WRITER possesses all of the style, elegance, and tension that made READER gripping. Those who loved the first book will find themselves enraptured by the second, which secures a ready audience for what will surely be a stunning conclusion." -Foreword Reviews"Anticipate trips through time and space, wrenching separations and confrontations that will test the lovers' bond to each other and to their world...be prepared for another epic story that turns on a dime and leaves its ending open for yet more added attractions later." -Midwest Book Review
This edition is a 10th anniversary "complete rewrite" of the trilogy, where plot and scenes are preserved, but the text is changed to reflect the author's evolution as a writer. Overall in the trilogy, 25,000 words were removed, language was altered, and additional chapters added.
