Chris Gerrib has been an avid fan of science fiction and space exploration since he was a child riding his bicycle to his small town's library where he memorized every book they had on the subject. Since then, he spent a tour in the US Navy, got an MBA, and now has a day job with a multi-national software company as a Project Manager. He lives in the Chicago suburbs and is active in his local Rotary Club. This is his fourth science fiction novel.You can visit Chris' website at www.privatemarsrocket.net or read his blog at chris-gerrib.dreamwidth.org.
