Garden of Thought E.356 Drop Troopers

Rick Partlow is that rarest of species, a native Floridian. Born in Tampa, he
attended Florida Southern College and graduated with a degree in History and
a commission in the US Army as an Infantry officer.
His lifelong love of science fiction began with Have Space Suit---Will Travel and
the other Heinlein juveniles and traveled through Clifford Simak, Asimov, Clarke
and on to William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams and Peter F Hamilton. And
somewhere, submerged in the worlds of others, Rick began to create his own
worlds.
He has written over 60 books in a dozen different series, and his short stories have been
included in twelve different anthologies.
He is currently writing the best-selling Drop Trooper series for Aethon Books, a mil-SF alien
invasion series, as well as the Taken to the Stars series for Variant Publishing.
He lives in northern Wyoming with his wife and a goofy blackmouth cur. Besides writing and
reading science fiction and fantasy, he enjoys outdoor photography, hiking and camping. More
