About the author

Andre K. George has a Ph.D. in Engineering. He has worked in the high-tech industry for over twenty years, building and managing research and development organizations specializing in big data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things.

Science Fiction has been Andre’s passion since he was a child. His favorite authors include Jules Verne, Harry Harrison, Stanislav Lem, Roger Zelazny, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Michael Crichton, and others.

At one point, while browsing through his Sci-Fi library, Andre asked himself, “Why not create the world and characters I’d love to read about next instead of waiting for others to do it for me?”

After all, as C.S. Lewis once said, “You can make anything by writing.”

And that is how these books were born.
