She spoke in a tongue dead a thousand years, and she had no memory of the man she faced. Yet he had held her tightly but a few short years before, had sworn eternal vengeance-when she died in his arms from an assassin's wounds.

Autor

Henry Kuttner (April 7, 1915 - February 3, 1958) was an American author of science fiction, fantasy and horror.Henry Kuttner was born in Los Angeles, California in 1915. Naphtaly Kuttner (1829-1903) and Amelia Bush (c. 1834-1911), the parents of his father, the bookseller Henry Kuttner (1863-1920), had come from Leszno in Prussia and lived in San Francisco since 1859; the parents of his mother, Annie Levy (1875-1954), were from Great Britain. Henry Kuttner's great-grandfather was the scholar Josua Heschel Kuttner. Kuttner grew up in relative poverty following the death of his father. As a young man he worked in his spare time for the literary agency of his uncle, Laurence D'Orsay (in fact his first cousin per marriage), in Los Angeles before selling his first story, "The Graveyard Rats", to Weird Tales in early 1936. It was while working for the d'Orsay agency that Kuttner picked Leigh Brackett's early manuscripts off the slush pile; it was under his tutelage that she sold her first story (to John W. Campbell at Astounding Stories).
