David Herter

David Herter is an American author. His first novel was Ceres Storm (2000), chosen as one of the ten best books of 2000 by the Elliott Bay Book Company, followed by Evening's Empire in 2002. Ceres Storm is a far-future space opera, telling of a boy's quest across a solar system ravaged by a nano-plague. Evening's Empire, set on the Oregon coast, concerns a bereaved opera composer drawn to the small town of Evening, and to mysteries that accord strangely with his current project, an adaptation of Jules Verne's 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas.
