I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE.
