About the Author

Max Carver is a lifelong fan of all areas of science. He has previously worked as a medical writer focused on genetics, genomics, and proteomics. He grew up drinking in all the old masters of science fiction-typically available for a quarter apiece, in battered-paperback form, at the local used book store-with a particular affinity for Robert Heinlein and Frank Herbert. Today, Max lives in the foothills of the Appalachians with his dogs, writing science fiction that explores questions about the nature and evolution of intelligent life in our universe, in between healthy doses of epic space battles with alien monsters.
