Paul Chafe is a Canadian science fiction writer whose career has been closely tied to Larry Niven’s Known Space setting. He has contributed extensively to the Man-Kzin Wars shared-world anthology series, which brings together multiple authors writing stories about the conflict between humans and the cat-like Kzinti aliens. His standalone novel Destiny’s Forge (2006) is one of the longer and more ambitious entries in that universe.

Outside of the Man-Kzin Wars, Chafe wrote the Ark duology, consisting of Genesis (2007) and Exodus (2009), which tells a generation-ship survival story. He also has one additional standalone novel, Mission Critical (1996). His work tends toward hard science fiction with military and political elements.
