John Schoenherr bol americký ilustrátor, známy predovšetkým svojou prácou v oblasti vedeckofantastickej literatúry a ako umelec zameraný na divokú prírodu. Jeho jedinečné techniky, vrátane špecializácie na techniku škrabania do hliny, mu zaistili uznanie v odbore. Vďaka svojmu zoologickému vzdelaniu dokázal vierohodne stvárniť mimozemské tvory, čo dodalo jeho dielam hĺbku. Jeho práca, ocenená Caldecottovou medailou, obohatila mnohé knihy a časopisy.

While running away from home and an unwanted marriage, a thirteen-year-old Eskimo girl becomes lost on the North Slope of Alaska and is befriended by a wolf pack.
Deathworld centers on Jason dinAlt, a professional gambler who uses his erratic psionic abilities to tip the odds in his favor. While visiting the planet Cassylia, he is challenged by a man named Kerk Pyrrus (an ambassador of the planet Pyrrus) to turn a large amount of money into an immense sum by gambling at a government-run casino. He succeeds and survives the planetary government's desperate efforts to take back the money. Bothered that he may finally have met someone superior to him, he decides to accompany Kerk to Pyrrus, despite being warned that it is the deadliest world ever colonized by humans.
