Tad Williams has held more jobs than any sane person should admit to—singing in a band, selling shoes, managing a financial institution, throwing newspapers, and designing military manuals, to name just a few. He also hosted a syndicated radio show for ten years, worked in theater and television production, taught both grade-school and college classes, and worked in multimedia for a major computer firm. He is cofounder of an interactive television company, and is currently writing comic books and film and television scripts as well. Tad and his family live in London and the San Francisco Bay Area.

exciting, and filled with fascinating characters. When it comes to
inventing imaginary worlds, he’s as skilled as J.R.R. Tolkien and
Frank Herbert.... Tad Williams’ work is an essential part of any
science fiction and fantasy library. I look forward to each new
book he writes. If you like exciting, thought-provoking fiction,
you owe it to yourself to give Tad a try." —Christopher
