Brandon Morris 這個名字是菜市仔名，洋人的世界很多都取這個同名同姓的名字，人物從藝術家到演員都有！
。Morris大叔的名氣在虫之囶甚大，很多小孩從小就成了他的鐵粉！不過，在鬼之島、知曉他名字與著作的鄉佬
可真是寥寥可數了！(只有理科男或理科女才會去讀他的小說吧！)長期以來，不少硬派科幻作品存在「着重科技
奇技描寫而輕忽人物性格塑造」的弊病。不過，就作者的說法：《牧羊人1號》除了有科幻的成分，但仍注重人物
特色的描寫，畢竟地球上人類的性別有男有女，皆是有血有肉的人物，在破解了種種疑團之後，最終走向了一個
樂觀進取的熱血性結局。版上的囝仔若對科幻小說有興趣的話，不妨將本書載下來瞧瞧唄！。\（￣∞￣）/⋩
