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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 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.
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 But he's got an unpublished speculative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.

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).
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'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.
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.
