--to be continued in Book Four of 7HE CHAOS CHRONICLES--ABOUT THE AUTHOR.
is the author of a number of thought-provoking, popular science fiction novels, including The Infinity ink and The Rapture El/bet. His books combine hard-SF concepts, deeply humanistic concerns, and a sense of humor, making them both compellingly suspenseful and emotionally satisfying. Carver has written several successful novels in his "star-rigger" universe, Star Rigger's way and Panglor (now available from Tor Books), Dragons in the Stars, and most recently, Dragon Rigger. With Neptune Crossing, The Chaos Chronicles: Volume One, Carver created an intriguing new universe, inspired by the science of chaos. In Strange Attractors (Volume Two) and now The Infinite Sea, he takes his readers even further into this unique and wondrous vision. Carver is the host of an interactive educational television series on writing science fiction, with partic.i.p.ating schools in a number of communities nationwide. He lives in the Boston area with his wife and two daughters.
