Jeffrey A. Carver is the author of sixteen SF novels, including the ongoing Chaos Chronicles. Equally popular are his Star Rigger stories, including Dragon Space and Nebula finalist Eternityโs End. While his work is usually called hard SF, his greatest love remains character, story, and a healthy sense of wonder.
