L'autore:

Arthur C. Clarke is one of the most celebrated science fiction authors of our time, named Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1986. He is the author of more than fifty books, with more than 50 million copies in print. His bestsellers include Childhood's End, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Hammer of God, Richter 10 (with Mike McQuay), and Rama Revealed (with Gentry Lee). He co-broadcast the Apollo 11, 12, and 15 missions with Walter Cronkite and Wally Schirra, and shared an Oscar nomination with Stanley Kubrick for the film version of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Michael Kube-McDowell is the New York Times-bestselling author of Before the Storm, the Hugo Award nominee The Quiet Pools, and the Philip K. Dick nominee Emprise. His acclaimed near-future, human-centered novels have been praised as "a heady mix of political intrigue and hard science" (Julian May) and "the work of an alert intellect" (Locus).
