When two Australian SAS soldiers uncover an impossible artefact beneath the Outback, they expose a secret buried for 65 million years: humanity came from the stars, and the enemy that destroyed us once has found us again.
I’ve spent more than 25 years telling stories for a living, first as a journalist, then in public affairs, politics, crisis communications and strategic media.
I’ve ghostwritten for senior politicians and CEOs, had work published in The Australian, The Australian Financial Review and The Guardian, won two Queensland media awards, and helped manage the national media response to the Beaconsfield mine disaster.
But fiction was always the story I wanted to tell for myself.
The Last Hope began as a standalone science fiction thriller about survival, ancient secrets and alien war. But the more I wrote, the bigger the world became. The characters, the mythology and the unanswered questions demanded more than one book.
That became The Origin Series.
It brings together the things I love most in fiction: military action, political tension, ancient mysteries, alien civilisations, flawed heroes and the question that sits underneath it all: what would humanity sacrifice for one last chance to survive?
