  Janusz A. Zajdel

  Janusz Andrzej Zajdel (August 15, 1938 in Warsaw – July 19, 1985 in Warsaw) was a prominent Polish science fiction author. He died from cancer.
  
  Zajdel is a precursor of social and dystopian fiction. In his works, he envisions totalitarian states and collapsed societies. His heroes are desperately trying to find sense in world around them, sometimes, as in Cylinder van Troffa, they are outsiders from a different time or place, trying to adapt to a new environment. The main recurring theme in his works is a comparison of the readers' gloomy, hopeless situations to what may happen in a space environment if we carry totalitarian ideas and habits into space worlds: Red Space Republics or Space Labour Camps, or both.

  Marcin Mortka

  Urodził się 5 kwietnia 1976 roku w Poznaniu, który stał się pierwszą miłością jego życia. Kolejne spotykał stopniowo, a były to: muzyka rockowa i metalowa, mistyka Skandynawii, epoka wielkich żaglowców, aż wreszcie pisarstwo.
  Już podczas studiów parał się pisaniem artykułów o tematyce erpegowo-historycznej do czasopism „Magia i Miecz” oraz „Portal”. Jest autorem powieści „Ostatnia saga”, jej kontynuacji „Wojna runów” oraz „Świt po bitwie” oraz dylogii „Karaibska krucjata”, na którą składają się tomy „Płonący Union Jack” i „La Tumba de los Piratas”. W lipcu 2007 zadebiutował w Fabryce Słów powieścią "Ragnarok 1940”.
  Za niedościgniony wzór uważa Patryka O’Briana, którego powieści pracowicie przekłada na język polski. Trudną dolę tłumacza łączy
