Marina J. Lostetter writes across both science fiction and fantasy with a consistent interest in large-scale questions: what happens to a society over generations, how systems of power shape individuals, and what lies at the edge of human knowledge. Her Noumenon trilogy is a space opera following a convoy of ships sent on a centuries-long mission, told through the lives of successive generations of crew. It’s ambitious in scope and rewards readers who enjoy character-driven SF with big ideas at its center.
Her fantasy work includes The Five Penalties trilogy, a dark fantasy series set in a world where magic requires payment and the consequences of those payments drive the plot across three books. Lostetter has also contributed short fiction to numerous anthologies and published two short story collections, making her bibliography unusually broad for an author who only began publishing novels in 2017.
