About

Nick Cook writes science fiction about discovery, perception, and what happens when human knowledge advances faster than wisdom.

His stories often begin with a single disruptive idea—a discovery, an anomaly, a breakthrough—and then pull steadily back to reveal the wider consequences for individuals, societies, and the world itself.

Nick’s bestselling Earth Song series is a seven-book epic that blends real science, archaeology, and speculative ideas into a progressive, high-concept narrative—one that starts small and grows relentlessly in scope. Readers often describe his work as thoughtful, unsettling, and impossible to put down.

Before becoming a full-time author, Nick worked for many years in the games industry as a creative director, helping to build immersive worlds and long-form narratives. That background strongly shapes his fiction: he believes the best stories don’t just entertain, they reveal—layer by layer—how much bigger reality might be than we assume.

Nick lives in the UK and continues to write science fiction about discovery, perception, and the consequences of uncovering hidden truths.
