Editorial Reviews
Review
"An interesting and entertaining blend of genres." -- SCIENCE FICTION CHRONICLE
"Carver is a strong SF writer, with a good feel for both the hard SF elements and the people he populates them with. Dragons in The Stars takes his writing ability one step further, as he shows he is not only comfortable working with fantasy elements, but able to succeed at the tough job of melding them into a science-fictional environment without making the SF aspects of the story lose their sense of realism. A well- written, enjoyable book that will impress the technology-oriented readers as well as social/characterization-oriented readers." -- C. von Rospach, AMAZING STORIES
"Carver's prose effectively lends a spare yet evocative resonance to the draconian realm. Like a good stage performer, this story should leave its audience wanting more." -- John Bunnell, AMAZING STORIES

More About the Author
Kindle readers: Would you like a glimpse behind the scenes of my writing of The Chaos Chronicles? The ebook versions of Neptune Crossing, Strange Attractors, and The Infinite Sea now include all-new Afterwords--my reflections on the evolution of the series and my experience in writing each book. I've kept the prices low on these editions to encourage you to give them a try if you're new to my work. I hope you enjoy them!
Here's a little about me:
A Midwesterner by birth and upbringing (I grew up in Huron, Ohio), I've lived in New England ever since attending college at Brown University, in Rhode Island. Now I live outside Boston with my wife and daughters, and also with a boxer named Hermione and a cat named Moonlight.
I've loved science fiction since I first began to read, and from the time I began writing, I always knew my first love was going to be SF. I'm not sure where you'd place me as a writer: I love astronomy and cosmology and hard SF concepts, and yet the characters are the most important thing to me in any story, whether it's a story I'm reading or a story I'm writing. It's the people, and the sense of wonder, that have always made science fiction--and science!--so awe-inspiring to me. Basically, I have always tried to write stories that I would want to read myself.
Some years ago, I developed and hosted on the air an educational TV series fo r middle-school classrooms, called Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy--teaching kids the basics of how to turn ideas into stories. That later turned into a computer-based course called, oddly enough, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing. In 2005, I decided it was about time to put the information online as a public service, available for free to any aspiring writer. It's online now, and you can use it anytime you like, just by going to http://www.writesf.com.
I also invite you to stop by and read my regular blog, at http://starrigger.blogspot.com, or my web site at http://www.starrigger.net.
Thanks for visiting! And please take a look at the video trailer for my novel Sunborn. If you'd like to view it in full-screen for full effect, you can do that at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K03RMcSeiY4.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great romp!!!,
By winterfall (Laguna Niguel, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragons In The Stars (Star Rigger) (Mass Market Paperback)
A beautifuly written romp through the realms of science fiction and fantasy. I've read it at least seven times and still can't put it down once I've started. Carver creates a wondrous blend of action and emotion. This is one of the few books that can make me cry, especially after having read it so many times. It claws at your heart and tears a great hole. For me the hole becomes bigger every time. A must read for all who love dragons.

Dragons in Space?,

This review is from: Dragons In The Stars (Star Rigger) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was skeptical about a Science Fiction book with dragons in it... but Dragons in the Stars is wonderfully executed. Read this book and find out if the legends about dragons encountered in the Flux are true, or just imaginative manifestations created by the minds of Riggers.
