David Mack is the national bestselling author of more than twenty novels and novellas, including Wildfire, Harbinger, Reap the Whirlwind, Precipice, Road of Bones, Promises Broken, and the Star Trek Destiny trilogy: Gods of Night, Mere Mortals, and Lost Souls. He developed the Star Trek Vanguard series concept with editor Marco Palmieri. His first work of original fiction is the critically acclaimed supernatural thriller The Calling.

In addition to novels, Mr. Mack's writing credits span several media, including television (for episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), film, short fiction, magazines, newspapers, comic books, computer games, radio, and the Internet.

Mr. Mack was gracious enough to talk with Tallis Rhul, a member of UFOP: StarBase 118, about his experiences with writing for Star Trek and his advice for aspiring writers. You can read the interview at UFOP: StarBase 118, a Star Trek PBEM RPG.
 
That was an interesting interview, and some of the advice all authors give, the rest was very interesting.
 
Now I know why Zero Sum Game reminded me of Harrison Bergeron. The later story is a staple of high-school English classes, for good reason.

:cool:
 
The bit about the controversy over Zero Sum Game was interesting. It sounds to me like a lot of fans picked it up expecting Ian Fleming but got John le Carré instead.
