About the author

Big wars. Human consequences.

David Beers writes military science fiction and space opera from Atlanta, Georgia. His stories keep returning to the same pressure point: what people become when the system above them is powerful, certain, and wrong.

Across war machines, artificial intelligence, empires, rebellions, and extinction-level threats, the books move fast—but the choices leave damage.
