Trivia
- The novel was originally announced as being written by David Cian but after turning in a (self-admittedly[1] rushed) first draft he was replaced by Alan Dean Foster who then rewrote the novel to an unknown extent. Foster is the lone name on the binding, while Cian receives a story credit inside.
- The book as published only marginally resembles Cian's description of the one he was writing, and features a much more defined scope and focus.[2]
- Much of the plot takes place on a planet reminiscent of the setting of Dune; desert environment, pillars with glyphs carved into them, sandworms, etc.
