Sbírka fantastických povídek Evy Hauserové. Autorka vystudovala biologii na Karlově univerzitě a pak se věnovala výzkumu v oblasti molekulární genetiky, než pochopila, že bude lepší pro ni i pro vědu, když toho nechá. Po profesní stránce vystřídala kariéru matky a ženy v domácnosti, psala science-fiction, pak prošla různými časopiseckými redakcemi (ABC mladých techniků a přírodovědců, Ikarie, Harlequin Publishers, Story). Kromě toho překládala z angličtiny a zabývala se časopiseckou i televizní publicistikou. Podílela se na pořadu Ženský hlas, na ekologických "pětiminutovkách" a dokumentech. V jejích povídkách a románech se obvykle projevují prvky feminismu nebo ekologie.(V)
