edit data

M.M. Holt is a mysterious figure who lives partly in the real world, but more often in his imagination.

He writes science fiction, horror and adventure novels, often involving a Navy lieutenant named Alex Burns who struggles to keep his sanity in a future world gone mad with political correctness. This same Alex Burns also fights alien invaders. Sometimes Burns's great seafaring ancestors also appear in the books.

M.M. Holt liked Linda 's review of Fifty Degrees South (The Burns #1): "Rise of the Kraken! Fifty Degrees by M. M. Holt is unsettling. Encourages questions of our futures and makes us wary of our present. Ambiguous???? What BBC would we do? Honor. Follow orders? Is there Life out there?"
