Trivia
- The novel was originally announced as being written by David Cian but after turning in a (self-admittedly 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 recieves 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.
- 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.
