About James Follett

James Follett is a bestselling author of fantasy and science fiction novels from the United Kingdom. Apart from authoring “EarthSearch,” the critically acclaimed science fiction serial on BBC Radio 4, he is also one of the most borrowed authors in public libraries in Britain. Growing up, James Follett was very much a reader and used to spend most of his days in the village library. Moreover, the librarian always seemed to have eyes on the back of her head and would scream and look daggers at him when he took something such as Arthur C. Clarke’s “Prelude to Space.” While he would sometimes get distracted by girls and school, he continued writing throughout his teenage and early adulthood years as he started entertaining the thought of becoming a fiction author. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, James Follett has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
