Christopher R. Bunch (December 22, 1943 – July 4, 2005) was an American science fiction, fantasy and television writer, who wrote and co-wrote about thirty novels.
Bunch was born in Fresno, California and attended Mira Costa High School with his friend Allan Cole.
Dragonmaster is an action trilogy following the life and exploits of Hal Kailas, a peasant who left home at an early age.
Corsair follows the tale of Gareth Radnor, who goes to live with his rich uncle, after the death of his parents at the hands of the evil Lynathi slavers.
It had seemed to Bunch and Cole that entirely too many science fiction authors were enamored with monarchies and their consequent fascist (although benevolent) ideals.
