Joshua Gayou launched his career with the Commune series in 2017, a post-apocalyptic saga about a group of survivors building a community after civilization collapses. The series grew steadily, reaching 10 books by 2025, with entries like Commune 6: The Slavers of Grand Saline and Commune 7: Bloody Sun showing the scope expanding from local survival to larger conflicts. The series is popular in the indie science fiction community, particularly among fans of military and post-apocalyptic fiction.
Gayou also wrote the Worldship trilogy, which follows a character named Udo through three books: Udo the Digger (2020), Udo the Warlord (2021), and Udo the God (2021). This series has a more science fantasy feel compared to the grounded survivalism of Commune. His standalone novels include All Gifts, Bestowed (2019) and Something No One Knows (2021).
