    <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Intelligence agents have uncovered something beyond belief, but the evidence is incontrovertible: the USA&#8217;s greatest adversary is sending its own agents back through time! And someone (or something) is presenting them with technologies and weapons far beyond our most advanced science. We have only one option: create time-transfer technology ourselves, find the opposition's ancient source...and take it down!&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>

    <biography>&lt;p&gt;Peter Watts is a Canadian science fiction author and marine-mammal biologist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;His first novel Starfish (2000) introduced Lenie Clarke, a deep-ocean power-station worker physically altered for underwater living and the main character in the sequels: Maelstrom (2001), Behemoth: &#223;-Max (2004) and Behemoth: Seppuku (2005). The last two volumes comprise one novel, published split into for commercial considerations. Starfish, Maelstrom and Behemoth comprise a trilogy usually referred to as &quot;Rifters&quot; after the modified humans designed to work in deep-ocean environments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;His latest book Blindsight, released October 2006, has been described by Charles Stross as &quot;Imagine a neurobiology-obsessed version of Greg Egan writing a first contact with aliens story from the point of view of a zombie posthuman crewman aboard a starship captained by a vampire, with not dying as the boobie prize.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Watts has also been the Supervising Writer on the animated science fiction film and television project strange frame.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Watts made his first two novels, Behemoth and some short fiction available on his website under Creative Commons licence.&lt;/p&gt;</biography>

    <biography>&lt;p&gt;Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He is notable for blending elements of science fiction and horror; and for popularizing &quot;cosmic horror&quot;: the notion that some concepts, entities or experiences are barely comprehensible to human minds, and those who delve into such risk their sanity. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror genre and is noted as creator of the &quot;Cthulhu Mythos,&quot; a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a &quot;pantheon&quot; of nonhuman creatures, as well as the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works typically had a tone of &quot;cosmic pessimism,&quot; regarding mankind as insignificant and powerless in the universe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, and his works, particularly early in his career, have been criticized as occasionally ponderous, and for their uneven quality. Nevertheless, Lovecraft&#8217;s reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.&lt;/p&gt;
