Donald Moffitt was born in Boston and now lives in rural Maine with his wife, Ann, a native of Connecticut. A former public relations executive, industrial filmmaker, and ghost颅writer, he has been writing fiction on and off for more than twenty years under an assortment of pen names, including his own, chiefly espionage novels and adventure stories in international settings.

Quotes by Donald Moffitt (?)

“It was too much for the mullah. 鈥淚t is forbidden to alter the creations of Allah!鈥� he erupted. 鈥淚f sculpture is enjoined by the Prophet, how much greater an abomination is it to sculpt living flesh? Six-legged camels! Horses with toes! Turbofalcons and three-headed hunting dogs! The production of novelties for the idle rich! And now the idolaters have not shrunk from dabbling in man himself!”

“What good is a truck?鈥� the man went on. 鈥淐an it forage for its own fuel? Can it go where a camel goes? Can it repair its own wounds? Can it sire more trucks? Machines are no good here in the Emptiness!”

“Ya Abdul,鈥� Aziz said quietly, 鈥渇or each of us in this universe of tears, Allah places a special treasure. Some people never find theirs, and go to the Day of Decision unfulfilled. I鈥檝e found my treasure, and I knew it right away. You don鈥檛 let it get away. Allah has placed yours right under your nose. But your neck is too stiff to bend.”
