edit data

Rex Burke is a SciFi writer based in North Yorkshire, UK.

When he was young, he read every one of those yellow-jacketed Victor Gollancz hardbacks in his local library. That feeling of out-of-this-world amazement never left him – and keeps him company as he writes his own SciFi adventures.

When he's not writing, he travels – one way or another, he'll get to the stars, even if it's just as stardust when his own story is done.

For a fantastic FREE prequel to the Odyssey Earth series ('First Date') not available anywhere else, sign up to his newsletter at http://subscribepage.io/GPiihl ...more

Rex Burke liked Ryan Haidar (YPQ)'s review of Orphan Planet (Odyssey Earth #1): "It isn't everyday where a group of children get to discover a new planet. Full of whimsy and character development, Orphan Planet reminds us of our sense of adventure, even when the stakes are high. A wonderful sci-fi escape!"
