幾年前丹尼男孩因為結腸癌開了刀，又做了些之後的治療，我猜想是化療吧。這個病讓他明白了自己終有一死，而他的回應方式非常有趣：他製作了一份名單，列出所有他認識而死掉的人。伊蓮問他是不是還繼續在記那份名單。 我已經放棄了，他說，只要時間夠久，我都一直沒復發，我就可以開始相信自己大概擊敗那個混帳病了。不過真正讓我放棄的是世貿中心。雙塔垮掉兩天後，街角那個傢伙，我每天回家路上會跟他買一份報紙，到現在為止有二十年了，結果他現在告訴我，當時他兒子就在北樓裡，他媽的就在被飛機撞上的那一樓。我認識那個小孩，他小時候每星期六都會幫他父親弄星期天的《紐約時報》，把各個版夾成一份。湯米，這他名字。那天我回家，想把他列入我的名單，然後我心想，丹尼，你他媽以為自己在幹嘛？那些人死得快到你都來不及寫下來。

杰克·万斯 生于1916年，少年时代极不安分，修过采矿工程、物理学和新闻学，上商船做过水手。曲折的经历培养了他对大自然以及民间传说的感情，丰富了他的人生阅历，为他以后的文学创作打下了坚实的基础。 杰克·万斯是标准的多栖作家，在奇幻和科幻领域都取得了巨大的成就。他的小说语言瑰丽，想象超群，尤其在奇幻设定方面更是大胆创新，成为后来许多作家竞相模仿的对象。 万斯一生获奖无数，包括雨果奖、星云奖和世界奇幻奖。1997年美国科幻作家协会授予他大师奖，使其成为美国幻想文学史上继罗伯特·海因莱因、艾萨克·阿西莫夫等巨星级作家之后的第十五位大师。 读者现在看到的这部《濒死的地球》是万斯最著名的作品，历来被公认为末世奇幻/科幻小说的第一经典。
