R. E. Bartlett
Ruth is a wonderful speculative author living in
New Zealand. She has many novels in her--several of which
are already written, but unpublished.
Ruth's
novels have helped launch two Christian speculative fiction ventures: Realms and Marcher Lord
Press.
I was
thrilled with Ruth's vision of a futuristic world in which humans can
prolong their lives indefinitely through the use of artificial bodies
called personifids.
James BeauSeigneur
The lines can get a little blurry when talking
about speculative fiction. James' Christ Clone
trilogy could fit in a "pure speculative" category, but I've put them
in SF for convenience.
T. Russell Benedict
Tim published this spacefaring SF through
PublishAmerica. He is one of the fine self-published Christian speculative
novelists I am proud to promote.
Austin Boyd
Austin, a former NASA astronaut finalist, writes
true science fiction, meaning fiction that is built directly atop actual
science. His Mars Hill Classified series
(released through NavPress) is about human spaceflight to Mars, the
possibility of intelligent life on Mars, and all manner of deception,
danger, and interpersonal struggle.
Grace Bridges
Grace is a New Zealander with Irish roots. She's
also an active member of
The Lost Genre Guild and the Christian Science Fiction & Fantasy
Blogtour.
This is a dark future SF in which the Awakened try
to survive despite a brutal one-world government.
Sigmund Brouwer
Like Bill Myers, Sigmund has written both for
adult and young adult audiences. His recent series with Hank Hanegraff is
good end times fiction and his Mars Diaries
series for young adults is great SF fun.
Note that this is just a sampling of Sigmund's
many speculative novels, primarily for the young adult market.
D. Burton
Shane's Orianus
Creation trilogy is among the fine POD (print-on-demand) titles I'm
proud to promote.
Note that he and Josh Michael Burton are
brothers.
Josh Michael Burton
This is Josh's first novel. It's another fine POD
book. He and D. Shane Burton are brothers.
Frank Creed
Frank is a great encourager and leading proponent
of Christian speculative fiction. His near-future novel takes place in an
America ruled by a one-world government.
Chase Dalton
Atlantyx is a
technothriller with a cool cover and a fun premise.
Karina and Robert Fabian
Lelia Rose Foreman
This is juvenile SF from Eerdmans. Far-future
novel about a Christian colony's attempts to survive on a planet a
thousand light-years from earth.
Tom Horn
Tom is one of the fine self-published authors I'm
proud to feature on WhereTheMapEnds. His novels have UFO and government
cover-up storylines.
The first novel listed below is co-written with
Nita Horn. On the second novel Tom lists his name as Thomas R. Horn.
Shane Johnson
Most of Shane's fiction better belongs in the
"Chiller" category. But Ice is clearly
SF.
Jim Kraus
Not all of Jim's novels are SF, but this one
is.
Bit of trivia for you: the title "the silence" was
typed on my own keyboard and photographed by Chris Gilbert, the designer
who did this cover. Cool, huh?
Stephen Lawhead
As I mentioned above, Stephen Lawhead did some
early Christian science fiction that bears mentioning.
Note that Empyrion
below is simply The Search for Fierra and
The Siege of Dome combined into one
volume.
L. A. Marzulli
Lynn Marzulli (who is male) wrote the Nephilim series, which is great Christian
science fiction.
Also, if you're interested in UFOs from the
worldview of Christianity, be sure to check out my white paper on the subject.
Bill Myers
Bill has a great speculative mind. He's written
Christian speculative fiction for the adult audience, but he's got much
more for the young adult market. His Forbidden
Doors series is groundbreaking (see listing for these under Christian
Chills).
John B. Olson and Randall Ingermanson
John and Randy wrote Oxygen, perhaps one of the first Christian
novels that used real science in its fiction. That novel won the Christy
Award in the visionary category and launched John's individual writing
career.
Note that Randy Ingermanson had won a Christy on
his own (for Transgression) before he won
another for Oxygen. See his other books under
the Time Travel category.
Carol Jo Parsons
John Robinson
John has published the Joe Box trilogy, which is
in the thriller genre. But he's got an unpublished speculative series that
will hopefully be available soon.
Gravity Fades |
A Certain Slant of
Light |
Julie Rollins
Julie has written a SF series, The Vadelah Chronicles, in which spacefaring
aliens worship the God of the Bible (or not).
Also catch my white paper called UFOs and the Christian
Worldview.
Jefferson Scott
Me again. My first three novels were near-future
technothrillers featuring virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and
genetic engineering.
The second trilogy is a Christian military
thriller series, which has nothing to do with speculative fiction, but
it's my site so I get to promote them anyway! Bwahahahaha!
And did I mention I've co-written two nonfiction
books, too? Check out my Web page here.
James Somers
James's novel is part SF part fantasy. It takes
place in a faraway sector of space, but it's a battle between good and
evil, like those done so well in fantasy.
Steve Trower
Steve's SF novel is not available through Amazon
in the U.S. (but it is available through www.amazon.co.uk).
You can also find it at his Web page: www.stevetrower.co.uk.
Kathy Tyers
Before coming to Christian SF Kathy had written
Star Wars and other secular SF novels for
Random House. Her Firebird trilogy was the
first that made me pay attention to Christian SF.
Chris Walley
Chris is the author of the 4-book The Lamb Among Stars series for young readers.
