Christopher R. "Chris" Bunch was an American science fiction, fantasy and television writer, who wrote and co-wrote about thirty novels.
Born in Fresno, California, he collaborated with Allan Cole on a series of books involving a hero named Sten in a galactic empire. (Cole married Bunch's sister, Kathryn.) He served in Vietnam as a patrol leader. He also wrote for Rolling Stone and was a correspondent for Stars and Stripes. He died in his hometown of Ilwaco, Washington, after a long battle with a lung ailment.
A fitting end for a series that deserves to be forgotten. Our MC is once again up to no good, saving damsels in distress and thwarting bad guys across the universe. Some pithy one liners gave me a few chuckles, and allowed me to finish this.
I did enjoy this series. It's more xeno-imaginative than Bunch's other sci-fi. Bunch generally stuck to themes that could have been written in any genre, but this series is a little more unique.
