Robert Storey is a thriller author from the United Kingdom who has created the Ancient Origins universe. After a car accident left him with a debilitating neurological condition, he turned to writing as a means of escape. Though he never pursued his dream of becoming a writer in his youth, he eventually found himself with the time and motivation to start a new career.
Storey's writing journey began with his book 2040: Revelations, which explores the political response to an impending asteroid collision and features an archaeological discovery that challenges earth's history. The book combines real-life political strategies, such as secretive underground bunkers, with speculative fiction elements to create a unique and captivating storyline. After publishing the first book, Storey went on to write and publish five more books in the series, renaming them Ancient Origins.
Tragically, while working on books 7 and 8, Storey passed away at the young age of 42. His parents, Terry and Maureen, have since taken on the responsibility of publishing the remaining books in the series in collaboration with Fuse Books. Despite the loss of their son, Storey's parents are committed to sharing his stories and vision with the world.
As a lover of science, archaeology, and the mysterious, Storey's writing reflects his passions and interests. Growing up, he was always fascinated by films, specifically action and adventure, science fiction, and blockbuster thrillers. However, as he got older, he realized that new releases rarely matched the classics he'd already had the privilege of watching. This frustration, along with his love for science and archaeology, led him to create a world of his own.
