Rainer Castor
Rainer Castor (born June 4, 1961 in Andernach ; † September 22, 2015 ibid) was a German science fiction writer for the Perry Rhodan series. But he also attracted positive attention with his novel Der Blutvogt . The detailed technical explanations in his novels are particularly worth mentioning.
