More About the Author

South Australian author and occasional DJ Sean Williams started writing in 1990 and has since published over sixty short stories across the speculative fiction genre and been reprinted in numerous Year's Best anthologies.

His novels have been compared to Peter Carey, Ursula LeGuin, Robert Silverberg, and the "Three Gregs" (Bear, Benford, and Egan). As well as fiction, he has written reviews, music (for which he won a Young Composer's Award in 1984), a stage play, and the odd haiku.

With Shane Dix he has co-authored the Evergence, Orphans and Geodesica series, and the New York Times-bestselling Star Wars: New Jedi Order: Force Heretic trilogy. Together, they have been described as the "Niven and Pournelle for the 21st Century".

A strong believer in giving back to the community, he has been a Chair of Australia's oldest Writers' Centre, a tutor for Clarion South, and is a judge for the Writers of the Future contest. He was recently awarded an MA in creative writing by his hometown university in Adelaide, South Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still on my best trilogy list, March 13, 2002
By 
This review is from: A Dark Imbalance (Evergence, Book Three) (Paperback)
I see that some readers felt dissatisfied with the ending. That's ok. If everyone felt like I do, Hollywood would be out of business. I loved the ending and anyone who couldn't see the potential for such an ending was not paying attention. The clues were there and I wanted the ending to be different as much as Morgan Roche did the entire journey but understood that things do not always work out the way you want them. I was then left with a total respect for the writers ability to let go of the typical ending and have the courage to do something different. I loved these characters with all their talents and flaws and deeply hope to be able to someday return to their world, as I am sure there are many other characters waiting to share their story with us. We still know very little of the Dato Bloc, the high humans and the others. I have no doubts that Williams and Dix have plenty more to share with us. Lead on gentelmen, and we will follow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked again!!, October 20, 2001
By 
This review is from: A Dark Imbalance (Evergence, Book Three) (Paperback)
It is not often that after reading the first 2 books of a trilogy that I anxiously await reading the 3rd!! (not since Lord of the Rings)
Having not read a science fiction book for near on 20 years, it was with some trepidation that I pick up the Evergence books. I was hooked by the end of the first chapter and never lost interest or focus right through all my readings. Fast paced, great structure, original and yes a heroine for the main character. This has really got me back into the sci-fi section in my local bookshop. I have loaned the books out to friends ... and they have all been hooked like myself. Looking forward to upcoming books from Williams and Dix.
Highly recommended...

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but watch out for the ending, July 19, 2001
By 
This review is from: A Dark Imbalance (Evergence, Book Three) (Paperback)
This book makes for an extremely satisfying conclusion to the Evergence sci-fi trilogy. Throughout the series, Williams and Dix constantly move into 'darker waters' as it were, and this third book is the most suspensful of them all. Incredible secrets about Cane and the other clone warriors are revealed, but the most stunning secrets are about Morgan herself...

I give this book five stars and take one off for the most insanely CHEAP ending in history.
