H.W. Lewis had a childhood fascination with the science fiction tales that appeared in comic books, on television, and in the Saturday matinees. After high school, he spent six years serving in the United States Navy aboard nuclear submarines, and has since worked over twenty-five years in the nuclear industry. He maintains that the concept of life beyond the confines of our planet is not only possible, but a reality for those adventurous enough to dream and write of the possibilities. H.W. Lewis has two adult children, and enjoys living on the Central Coast of California with his wife. He has finished writing his second book Daedalus Rimes, Afterdeath, and is now at work on his third in this series.
