About the Author

Tracy Hickman was born on November 26, 1955 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He entered the Missionary Home in Salt Lake City in 1975. From there, he was sent to Hawaii for language training for his eventual trip to Singapore. He was stationed in Hawaii and taught at the Mission House while waiting for his show more visa to come in. He preached the Mormon way of life in Indonesia for a year and a half. He was honorably released in 1977, and held a series of odd jobs after returning to the states including glass worker, television assistant director, and drill press operator in a genealogy center. In 1981, he approached by TSR about buying two of his gaming modules. He was hired by the company instead and began working with Margaret Weis. They wrote the DragonLance Chronicles together as well as over 40 books. He wrote two solo novels Requiem of Stars and The Immortals. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Dragonlance: Dragonlance… by Margaret Weis

I read this book many years ago as a teenager, and recently re-read it with a group of friends. I was worried that it didn't hold up well over time, but I was actually surprised that I enjoyed it so much. Yes, it has some old D&D anachronisms, but it was a decent read.
