About Peter Cawdron

Hard science fiction is just plausible science fiction, fiction which is written in such a way as it conforms to the known laws of science, which makes it that much more interesting since there’s no magic wand the protagonist can just wave to get out of trouble. Peter’s forays into hard science fiction could best be described as being enjoyable science fiction or informative science fiction. Peter is a fan of such classic science fiction authors as Arthur C. Clark, Philip K. Dick, and Michael Crichton and their influence on his story lines and style is readily apparent. “Serengeti” is the first novella in the “Galactic Exploration” series and was released in 2012. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of First Contact Books series, Peter Cawdron 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.
