Autorenporträt

Reviewers have said of Morgan Nyberg's Raincoast novels:
"One of the best series in the post-apocalyptic genre, hands down."
"An exquisitely formed vision of a broken world."
"On a par with McCarthy's The Road."
"The best I've read in a post-apocalyptic setting."
"This book (Since Tomorrow) stunned me with its power and richness."
"Far and away the best of its genre."

Before writing the Raincoast series Nyberg had been a poet (The Crazy Horse Suite), an award-winning children's author (Galahad Schwartz and the Cockroach Army; Bad Day in Gladland) and a literary novelist (El Dorado Shuffle; Mr. Millennium). He had worked and lived in Canada, Ecuador and Portugal. He was teaching English in the Sultanate of Oman when he felt the need to confront in fictional form the ecological crisis facing Planet Earth. The Raincoast Saga, many years in the making, is the magnificent result.
