X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>About the author:</em></p>\n<p><strong
 >Christopher Paolini</strong> was born in Southern California and has live
 d most of his life in Paradise Valley\, Montana with his family. He publis
 hed his first novel\,&nbsp\;<em>Eragon</em>\, in 2003 at the age of 19\, a
 nd quickly became a publishing phenomenon. His Inheritance Cycle&nbsp\;&nd
 ash\;&nbsp\;<em>Eragon&nbsp\;</em>and its three sequels &ndash\; have sold
  nearly 40 million copies worldwide.&nbsp\;<em>To Sleep in a Sea of Stars<
 /em>&nbsp\;was his first adult novel.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Fractal Noise</s
 trong></em>&nbsp\;is the thrilling prequel to the masterful space opera&nb
 sp\;<em>To Sleep in a Sea of Stars</em>.&nbsp\;On the planet Talos VII\, t
 wenty-three years before the events of&nbsp\;<em>To Sleep in a Sea of Star
 s</em>\, an anomaly is detected: a vast circular pit\, with dimensions so 
 perfect that it could only have been the result of conscious design. So a 
 small team is assembled to learn more &ndash\; perhaps even who built the 
 hole and why. Their mission will take them on a hazardous trek to the very
  edge of existence.</p>\n<p>For one explorer\, this is the opportunity of 
 a lifetime. For another\, a risk not worth taking. And for xenobiologist A
 lex Crichton\, it&rsquo\;s a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncar
 ing universe. But every step they take towards that mysterious abyss is mo
 re punishing than the last. Ultimately\, no one is prepared for what they 
 will encounter.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Registration for this event is&nbsp\;<stro
