John Stewart Williamson (April 29, 1908 – November 10, 2006), who wrote as Jack Williamson, was an American science fiction writer, often called the "Dean of Science Fiction" after the death of Robert Heinlein in 1988.[2] Early in his career he sometimes used the pseudonyms Will Stewart and Nils O. Sonderlund.[1]As a child Williamson enjoyed storytelling to his brother and two sisters. As a young man, he discovered the magazine Amazing Stories, established in 1926 by Hugo Gernsback, after answering an ad for one free issue. He strove to write his own fiction and sold his first story to Gernsback at age 20: "The Metal Man" was published in the December 1928 issue of Amazing.[1] During the next year Gernsback published three more of his stories in the new pulp magazines Science Wonder Stories and Air Wonder Stories, and separately published "The Girl from Mars" by Miles J. Breuer and Williamson as Science Fiction Series #1.[1] His work during this early period was heavily influenced by A. Merritt,[4] author of The Metal Monster (1920) and other fantasy serials. Noting the Merritt influence, Algis Budrys described "The Metal Man" as "a story full of memorable images".[5] [mehr]

Teenagers rebel from the powers that be in many ways in all ages. But when Anda Gwyrran (the eldest daughter of the lord of their Pirate clan on the world of Sand, a mostly arid planet), goes against her father's will by rescuing a peculiar human from the wreckage of a ship which crashed on their world, she is in for a world of hurt. Already enduring abuse for sullying the family name, Anda finds herself at odds with her father when she discovers their rescued refugee is a Seer from Arras. Though everyone else in their colony sees the peculiar newcomer as a lunatic, Anda finds out he is everything he says he is. And more, the old Seer introduces Anda to the power of Seer fire, of which she has a gift. Caught between pressures to expand this new surprising skill, sating her father's brutal demands as the tyrant ruling their Pirate colony, and trying to survive in the ongoing war with the Th'san Empire, Anda relies on her friend Walen to get through it. Her new gift with Seer fire, however, brings unexpected fruits and shifts to her world paradigm. For she has seen in the fire what the Seer had tried to protect--the Last Tarrn, the chosen One to end the Endless War, and the Leader-of-Many born to protect the One. And she is not too happy about it. Sure--she is glad the Last Tarrn was not myth. Sure--she's impressed with what she has seen in the fire of Arras's capabilities. However, they need help NOW in fighting against the Th'sans. And Anda, and everyone else, is tired of waiting for the One to come. And in their case, when plagues come, it might be too late. Anda must take a stand. Will she remain strong in her faith to fight against the fear she has of her father? Pirate Deserts runs adjacent to the Martian Prophecies series, occasionally intersects with it, until it it merges in book 12. It is the beginning of Anda’s story, which will be told in 3 books, this being the first. [mehr]
