  Ayerdhal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ayerdhal (nè Jacky Soulier), a French science fiction writer, was born 1959 in Lyon, France.
The covers of all of Ayerdhal's novels have been illustrated by Gilles Francescano whose drawings, according to the author, were the inspiration for the main character in his 1993 novel L'histrion.
Ayerdhal, who holds the genre of science fiction in the highest regard, not only as a tool for learning but as tool for the expression of one's imagination, has stated several reasons for why he believes French science-fiction has sold badly over the years.

THE NIGHT ORCHID may be the harbinger of a true invasion, though, as other writers have followed Dunyach’s lead and got their stories published in English – I’ll only mention two names: Ayerdhal, who sold a story to INTERZONE, and Mélanie Fazi, who sold two to THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION.
Ayerdhal is a best-selling novelist, mainly working in the science fiction genre – though his latest offering is a thriller – while Mélanie Fazi is a young, rising star, with a strong gothic slant.
