Richard F. Weyand is a prolific science fiction writer whose books lean toward space opera with a hard science edge. He has a background in physics, and that training shows up in the way he builds his fictional universes. There are no dragons or magic forces in his stories. Instead, he works with technologies like hyperspace travel and virtual reality implants, keeping things plausible within the rules he sets.
His most extensive work is the Empire series, which runs to sixteen books and follows the political and military upheavals of an interstellar empire. The Childers Universe series is another fan favorite, centered on Jan Childers, an orphan from Earth’s slums who rises through the Commonwealth Space Force. Weyand started publishing fiction in 2016 and has released more than forty books since, keeping a pace that has built him a dedicated readership in the indie science fiction community.
