Ford was, in his lifetime, a favorite author of many writers better known than he was, including Neil Gaiman and Robert Jordan. He won World Fantasy Awards for both his novel \u003ci\u003eThe Dragon Waiting\u003c\/i\u003e and his poem \"Winter Solstice, Camelot Station,\" and he won the Philip K. Dick Award for his novel, \u003ci\u003eGrowing Up Weightless\u003c\/i\u003e. His Star Trek(TM) novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Final Reflection\u003c\/i\u003e, essentially created the nuanced Klingon culture seen later in the feature films, and his other novel in that universe, \u003ci\u003eHow Much For The Planet?\u003c\/i\u003e, was a Star Trek(TM) tale told as a Gilbert \u0026amp; Sullivan musical, complete with songs. He was a genius. He died in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48462415134957,"sku":"9781250269140","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_b6823af5-6dd3-498d-943a-f8fbad11a5ae.jpg?v=1753702060","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/web-of-angels-9781250269140","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
