About the Authors
Michael A. Martin, whose short fiction has appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, is co-author of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Section 31—Rogue and Roswell: Skeletons in the Closet (both with Andy Mangels). Martin was the regular co-writer (also with Andy Mangels) of Marvel Comics’ monthly Star Trek: Deep Space Nine comic-book series, and has generated heaps of copy for Atlas Editions’ Star Trek Universe subscription card series. He has written for Star Trek Monthly, Dreamwatch, Grolier Books, Wildstorm, Platinum Studios, and Gareth Stevens, Inc., for whom he has penned several Almanac of the States nonfiction books. Cathedral is the second Star Trek novel to bear his name. Martin and Mangels currently have several other collaborative projects in the works, including two Star Trek novels involving the crew of the U.S.S. Excelsior and a Starfleet Corps of Engineers e-book. When not hunkered over a keyboard in his windowless basement, Martin reads voraciously, plots the revolution, and plays with his two wee bairns, James and William; he lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Jennifer J. Dottery, their aforementioned children, and a mortgage of galactic proportions.
