About the author

Yes, 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.

My wife is author Rebecca Moesta. We currently reside near Monument, Colorado.

This cover alone deserves 5 stars. This book picks up the various threads begun in #1, and it maintains the quality, pace, and flow of the first issue. Excellent work. Highly recommended.

I have the first six issues, and just now read the 2nd. I need to catch up. I love the Dune universe and have read many of the books. This series ties very nicely into the Dune timeline. The stories are well written and fit into the Dune storyline. The art is top notch and the printed copy is firm. I will quickly get to issue #3 and move on.

The cover alone deserves a 5 stars.

Just when I think this is the limit for Harkonnen atrocities, they surprise me.
