I studied biology and epigenetics for my Masters and PhD, and then worked in research publishing and science communication for a few years (whilst trying to publish my fantasy trilogy!). After I published my fantasy trilogy (2021-2023, starting with THE GAUNTLET AND THE FIST BENEATH) I wanted to explore science fiction and try my hand at a different genre. I felt my background in research set me well to write a 'hard' science fiction book, and so decided to focus on the biology element of cyberpunk (where the genre tends to be a little better at tech, and not so well grounded when it comes to the biology!).

My inspiration came from my worries about climate collapse and corporate overreach- I wanted to explore themes of hope in the face of overwhelming odds, and the nature of the communities we build around ourselves as we try to move forward. however, I wanted to do that in the context of a pulpy action-focused thriller!

I hope this helps- if you would like to ask any more questions, drop me an email at ian-green@hotmail.co.uk(less)

For the moment I'm focusing on a fantasy trilogy that will be coming out 26/27/28, but I absolutely have a screed of notes and ideas for other books and projects set in the EXTREMOPHILE ecosystem- I hope to write a lot more there!(less)

Extremophile by Ian   Green
"Anche qui vorrei dare più di 5 stelle...
Non mi aspettavo davvero un libro così!!!!
Prendete il Gibson più recente e mixatelo con i primi film di Guy Ritchie, tipo Lock & Stock o meglio ancora Rockenrolla, e declinate il tutto in chiave Bio-punk!!! Ecc" Read more of this review »

"This is my favourite book of the year.

It is raw and real in a way the science fiction sometimes loses when it is too caught up in the 'what ifs' But the what ifs of Extremophile are...what if a couple of everyday punks had the chance to make a diffe" Read more of this review »

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
J.R.R. Tolkien
