JACK DANN is a multiple award winning author who has written or edited over seventy
books, including the groundbreaking novels Junction, Starhiker, The Man Who Melted, The Memory Cathedral—which
is an international bestseller, the Civil War novel The Silent, and the recently published Bad Medicine, which
has been compared to the works of Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson and called “the best road novel since the Easy
Rider days.”
Dann’s work has been compared to Jorge Luis Borges, Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, Castaneda, J. G. Ballard, Mark
Twain, and Philip K. Dick. Philip K. Dick, author of the stories from which the films Blade Runner and Total Recall
were made, wrote that “Junction is where Ursula Le Guin’s Lathe of Heaven and Tony
Boucher’s ‘The Quest for Saint Aquin’ meet...and yet it’s an entirely new novel.... I may very well
be basing some of my future work on Junction.” Best selling author Marion Zimmer Bradley called Starhiker
“a superb book...it will not give up all its delights, all its perfections, on one reading.”
