About the Author/作者介绍: 杰森•M•哈佛(Jason M. Hough),生于伊利诺斯,但自小生活在加州圣地亚哥郊区。6岁的时候,他爸妈带他去看《星球大战》,从此他爱上了科幻以及一切怪异的事情。他曾经在游戏界闯荡过十年,身任3D艺术和游戏设计师。目前和家人住在圣地亚哥,不写作的时候,他会陪儿子用乐高积木搭飞船,享受平凡的天伦之乐。Jason M. Hough (pronounced, "huff") was born in Illinois, but grew up on the mean streets of suburban San Diego, California. In 1978, at age six, his parents took him to see Star Wars, and so began a life-long love of sci-fi and all things geek.

When not writing, he enjoys building LEGO spaceships with his boys, and other similarly grown-up pursuits.
