by Lawrence M. Schoen


  As always, this book owes a huge shout out to the members of my Typo Team. I sent them the manuscript the day after I completed it, and amidst the revelry of the Memorial Day weekend they turned it around. Thank you to Dr. James Caplan, Gene Weinbeck, and Ef Deal. Next book you all get planets and/or stars named for you (but I’m not responsible for any typos I slip in when naming them).

  Finally, as always, love and appreciation for my wife, Valerie, who continues to encourage my writing even amidst medical adventures and isolation. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it: my life is blessed and she’s the major portion of why that’s so.

  About Lawrence M. Schoen

  Lawrence M. Schoen holds a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics. He spent ten years as a college professor, doing research in the areas of human memory and language. This was followed by seventeen years as the director of research for a medical center in Philadelphia that provided mental health and addiction services.

  He’s also one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Klingon language, and since 1992 has championed the exploration and use of this constructed tongue throughout the world. In addition, he works occasionally as a hypnotherapist specializing in authors’ issues.

  In 2007, he was a finalist for the Astounding Award for Best New Writer. He received a Hugo Award nomination for Best Short Story in 2010 and Nebula Award nominations for Best Novella in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2018, for Best Novelette in 2019, and for Best Novel in 2016.

  Some of his most popular writing deals with the ongoing humorous adventures of a space-faring stage hypnotist named the Amazing Conroy and his companion animal, Reggie, an alien buffalito that can eat anything and farts oxygen. The universe he created for them has since spawned additional series involving galactic couriers and physics-defying pizza.

  His Barsk series represents his more serious work and uses anthropomorphic SF to explore ideas of prophecy, intolerance, political betrayal, speaking to the dead, predestination, and free will. It’s also earned him the Cóyotl Award for Best Novel of 2015, and again in 2018.

  Lawrence lives near Philadelphia with his wife, Valerie, who is neither a psychologist nor a Klingon speaker.
