author Janet Morris began writing in 1976 and published more than 30 novels,
many co-authored with her husband Chris Morris or others. She contributed short
fiction to the shared universe fantasy series Thieves World, in which she
created the Sacred Band of Stepsons, a mythical unit of ancient fighters
modeled on the Sacred Band of Thebes. She created, orchestrated, and edited the
Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell, writing stories for the series as well
as co-writing the related novel, The Little Helliad, with Chris Morris. She
wrote the bestselling Silistra Quartet in the 1970s, including High Couch of
Silistra, The Golden Sword, Wind from the Abyss, and The Carnelian Throne. This
quartet had more than four million copies in Bantam print alone, and was
translated into German, French, Italian, Russian and other languages. In the
1980s, Baen Books released a second edition of this landmark series. The third
edition is the Author's Cut edition, newly revised by the author for Perseid
Press. Most of her fiction work has been in the fantasy and science fiction
genres, although she has also written historical and other novels. Morris has
written, contributed to, or edited several book-length works of non-fiction, as
well as papers and articles on nonlethal weapons, developmental military
technology and other defense and national security topics.
Janet said:
'People often ask what book to read first. I recommend "I, the Sun"
if you like ancient history; "The Sacred Band," a novel, if you like
heroic fantasy; "Lawyers in Hell" if you like historical fantasy set
in hell; "Outpassage" if you like hard science fiction; "High
Couch of Silistra" if you like far-future dystopian or philosophical
novels. I am most enthusiastic about the definitive Perseid Press Author's Cut
editions, which I revised and expanded.'
