About the author

Stories about tomorrow. Questions about today.

M.P. Iwaniuk is the author of Mortal Stars, a connected science fiction saga set in a future where humanity has spread beyond its lost homeworld. Across five volumes, the series moves from a mysterious salvage mission to a much larger struggle over history, progress, and the value of a human life.

At the heart of these novels are the people forced to live with the consequences of technological change. The books explore a future in which life can be extended, opportunities are not shared equally, and uncovering the truth can carry a dangerous price.

How much of our humanity can we preserve while trying to secure our future?

A central question explored by the series — not a quotation from the novels.

Beyond a lost Earth

Humanity has found ways to endure far from its homeworld. But continuing to exist is not the same as knowing where we belong.

02 / TIME

The price of longer lives

AION offers extraordinary possibilities — while raising difficult questions about inequality, power, and who gets more time.

03 / DISCOVERY

History worth questioning

From the salvage vessel Nadir to the shadow of Earth, the saga asks what happens when accepted history is no longer enough.
