Robert J. Walker is an extremely prolific self-published American author who has produced over 220 books since 2014 across two major series and a handful of standalone novels. His work falls into two distinct categories: EMP survival thrillers and kidnapping mystery thrillers. Both series have grown to unusual lengths, with EMP Survival in a Powerless World reaching 132 books and A Riveting Kidnapping Mystery reaching 86 books as of 2025.
His EMP series follows characters navigating a world after an electromagnetic pulse has destroyed modern infrastructure, placing them in survival scenarios across various American settings. The kidnapping mystery series covers investigations into abductions, missing persons, and connected criminal networks in small-town and suburban American settings.
Walker’s publishing pace is exceptional, producing dozens of books per year at peak output. His work is designed for readers who want fast-paced, plot-driven fiction and who enjoy following characters through long, episodic series. The books tend to be short and read quickly, designed for readers who consume fiction at high volume.
