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.

His bestselling Earth Song series is a seven-book narrative that blends real science, archaeology, and speculative ideas into a progressive, high-concept story—one that starts small and grows steadily in scope. The series is known for its thoughtful, unsettling tone and its focus on ideas that quietly reshape reality rather than explode it.

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 most compelling stories don’t just entertain, but reveal—layer by layer—how much larger and stranger reality may be than we assume.

Nick lives in the UK and continues to write science fiction that explores discovery, uncertainty, and the consequences of uncovering hidden truths.
