Timothy Zahn

Timothy Zahn was born in 1951 in Chicago and spent his first forty years in the Midwest. Somewhere along the way toward a Ph.D. in physics, he got sidetracked into writing science fiction and has been at it ever since. He is the author of over seventy short stories and twenty novels, of which his most well-known are his five Star Wars books: The Thrawn Trilogy and Hand of Thrawn duology. His most recent book is the stand-alone novel Angelmass, published in 2001. Though most of his time is now spent writing novels, he still enjoys tackling the occasional short stony. This is one of them. The Zahn family lives on the Oregon coast.
