About the Author

Jack McDevitt is the author of seven novels and approximately fifty short stories, which have been published in the major science fiction magazines and in several original anthologies. His first novel, The Hercules Text (Ace, 1986) was an Ace Special, and won the Philip K. Dick Special Award and the Locus Award for Best First Novel. It appears here in a substantially different form.

Other novels are A Talent for War (Ace, 1989); The Engines of God (Ace, 1994), an Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist; Ancient Shores (HarperPrism, 1996), a Nebula finalist; Eternity Road (HarperPrism, 1997), winner of the Darrell Award; Moonfall (HarperPrism, 1998), a Nebula finalist; and Infinity Beach, (HarperPrism, 2000).

Several pieces of shorter fiction have been short-listed for the Nebula and the Hugo, and "Ships in the Night" won the $10,000 first prize in the UPC International Novella competition in 1992. A collection of McDevitt's short fiction, Standard Candles, is available from Tachyon Press.

McDevitt has been a Philadelphia taxi driver, a naval officer, an English teacher, a customs officer, and a motivational trainer for federal and state law enforcement officials. He lives in Brunswick, Georgia, with his wife Maureen.
