Gastrove was born Samuel Finch in 1999. He quickly rose through the ranks of Best Authors of All Time to number one with his epic story, Averduary of a Vestroge to the Ona Gorka (see The Fropulgration of a Vestroge for an excerpt). Today, there is no man in the world who has not read this story, as most countries sentence all who do not read it to death.
