John Wegener

The author is a science fiction writer specializing in space-based narratives with a strong foundation in hard science. Since beginning their writing career in 2016, they have published ten books, crafting stories set in the near future—typically within the next one to two hundred years. Their works blend rigorous scientific elements with imaginative storytelling, though they occasionally explore more fantastical sci-fi themes for intrigue and adventure.

With a 35-year background in chemical engineering within the steel industry, the author brings firsthand technical expertise and real-world experience to their fiction. Their writing is enriched by travels to exotic locations and a deep curiosity about cosmology, quantum physics, and historical events, particularly ancient and medieval European history. Influenced by luminaries like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, they prioritize human-centric narratives, often incorporating genetic engineering while avoiding traditional alien tropes. Residing in Wollongong, Australia, the author continues to write full-time, driven by a lifelong fascination with humanity's expansion into space.
