Travis S. Taylor’s non-fiction draws directly on his career as a scientist and engineer. His books cover topics from rocket propulsion to laser physics to the possibility of alien contact.
Titles range from the introductory, like “An Introduction to Planetary Defense” (2006), to the highly technical, like “A First Graduate Course in Quantum Field Theory” (2026). He also wrote “Alien Invasion” (2011), which brings a scientist’s perspective to the question of how humanity might actually respond to extraterrestrial contact.
