JOHN C. WRIGHT lives in Centreville, Virginia.
"It's a pity the word 'awesome' has been misused to the point of
meaninglessness: it would once have been an ideal description of
"Count To A Trillion." Instead, I'll say that the novel came
perilously close to overloading my capacity for wonder, burning out
all my 'gosh' circuits--and Ive been reading science fiction
assiduously since 1954. Mr. Wright is a major figure in the recent
renaissance of space opera, the kind of writer who is equally at
home with hard science and poetry, the kind you read slowly and
carefully, and very happily. Count to a trillion, as slow as you
like: you'll be done long before you forget this story, or its
Texan gunfighter hero, a child-abuse survivor yearning with all his
heart for a cartoon future of hope called The Asymptote." --Spider
Robinson, author of "Very Hard Choices""Spectacularly clever... in
weaving together cutting edge speculation along the outer fringes
of science. Highly impressive."--"Kirkus" "R.A.Lafferty meets
A.E.VanVogt in a cakewalk through a future full of anti-matter,
alien artifacts, transhumans, an Iron Ghost, a Texas gunfighter,
and a Space Princess. Well worth the price of admission." --Michael
Flynn"Wright is at his best.... Appealing to readers interested in
glimpses of the unfathomable immensities of our universe."
"--Publisher's Weekly" "An awe-inspiring book, brave and full of
wonder. Count to a Trillion pokes grand fun of humanity and
post-humanity alike."--Brenda Cooper, author of "Reading the Wind"
"An elegant stylist and a true visionary, Wright will delight hard
sf fans with his exuberance, while his characters and plot keep the
action fast and furious." --"Library Journal""This is much more
than a space opera, and fills your mind with intriguing, startling
possibilities. John Wright's novel is bursting with ideas, blending
mythology, machine and human evolution, mathematics, space travel,
and much more. The hero, Montrose, is caught in the crosshairs of
deadly, highly unusual foes--and his fate could very well determine
the fate of everyone on Earth. Ultimately this is about human
survival and potential, the future of mankind across a trillion
star systems." --Brian Herbert""
"An exciting voice, adding richness to hard science fiction."
--David Brin on John C. Wright
"["The Golden Transcendence" is] set forth with such effortless
intelligence and confident verisimilitude that the author might be
a denizen of the remote future, reporting back to us in the distant
past."
--"Kirkus Reviews"
