Dan Hanks writes genre fiction that draws from pulp adventure, science fiction, and horror. His debut, Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire (2020), follows a WWII pilot pulled into a post-war adventure involving ancient artifacts and shadowy government agencies.
Swashbucklers (2021) shifts gears with a story about adults returning to face a supernatural threat from their childhood. The Way Up is Death (2024) continues Hanks’ approach of mixing genre elements with fast-paced plotting and dry humor. His books are published by Angry Robot, and he has built a following among readers who appreciate action-oriented genre fiction that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
