James Kahn
James Kahn (* 1947 in San Diego ) is an American fantasy and science fiction author.
He became known late in Germany, because Goldmann Verlag simply omitted the name of the author in the edition of Star Wars "Books on Film" and attributed the books to George Lucas alone. The author in the "background" only became really known through the publications of the Poltergeist series. Even Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was written by him. James Kahn continues to write the Star Wars books for George Lucas to this day .
