ABOUT THE AUTHOR

MICHAEL A. STACKPOLE is an award-winning game designer and author who has gone into hiding for fear of being lynched because of the ending of this book. (Note: if you read this bio before you read the book, you are expressly forbidden from reading the last chapter first. I will know if you do.)

While being sequestered from normal society, he is madly at work on The Grand Crusade, in which all questions will be answered, all issues tackled, and all desires satisfied (unless there’s something that would lead into a really neat sequel).
