About the Author: Morgan Reed lives on a ranch in the mountains of Northern California with lots of animals and books. "I attribute my writing start to my university, SF State, where I learned how to read and write, no kidding, and from studying an interdisciplinary course work, many ideas began to work. My mother was a tacher for ever and my father, a scientist, and these influenced me to question and wonder about the world, and not take anything for granted. Questioning does not mean something is 'wrong', but I still wonder about the things we call truth. Each of the Galss Planet series is a little different. It has grown and cahnged. This one becam3e a horror story and was very fun to write. I am surprised now at the point of view it is written from, the aliens, pointedly the Angel Gabriel. And I wonder at our history and what those old stories mean and how true they are and how much truth in that truth? So our myth of Christianity holds that the miracles are true. Well what else could be that powerful, a God, or an alien we simply dont understand and call him god. Very simple, actually. Surpised no one else saw it. But the myth simply is dependant upon it remaining a mystery and unexplainable. We dont need more myth in our lives. On the contrary we need to start looking at things hard and scientifically if we are to survive through the next collapse. Anything beyond stone age level anyway."
