Robert Feldhoff was a German science fiction author, best known for his work with the Perry Rhodan franchise. An economics student and resident of the Northern German city of Oldenburg, he wrote his first 'Perry Rhodan' novel in 1987 and soon dropped out of college to write for the magazine full-time. Over the next decade, he became the head writer of the series. On the side, he created two comic book series with illustrator Dirk Schulz, named Indigo und Chiq & Chloe. In 2009 Feldhof retired from his job due to a diagnosis of terminal cancer, which took his life later that same year, at the age of 47.
