Nathan Gregory

A lifelong explorer of science fiction, I’ve been captivated by the wonders of space and technology since childhood. My early days were spent imagining journeys to Mars, the Moon, and beyond through the stories of classic authors like Robert Heinlein and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Today, I channel that same sense of wonder and adventure into my writing.

With a background as an engineer specializing in networking, data communications, privacy, and cybersecurity, my professional career has kept me on the cutting edge of technology—fields that fuel my fascination with the future. In recent years, I’ve expanded my expertise into encryption, cryptocurrency, and digital identity protection, adding real-world depth to the speculative worlds I create.

Since 2015, I’ve been writing the kind of science fiction I love to read: cosmic adventures, tales of rogue AIs, distant worlds, and alien encounters. My stories explore the intersection of technology and humanity, where humor, suspense, and the unexpected come together in thrilling ways.

Whether you’re a fan of classic space operas or modern sci-fi with a twist, I invite you to join me on these journeys to the far reaches of the universe.

Author Questions

When not taming rogue electrons or reinventing the Internet, I’ve been known to make a mean bowl of Pool Hall Chili and mouth-watering burgers. When left unchaperoned, I may sneak out for a motorcycle ride, or clutter up the airwaves with radio Signals.
I wrote Chromosome Quest as self-therapy and escape, and had no intention of publishing it. It was unabashed male-fantasy, written as stress relief. During the process, a distaff buddy asked to read it. I was terrified!
All of the ‘Golden Age’ authors.
John Blaine’s Rick Brant series. Asimov’s Lucky Star series. Anything by Heinlein.
I write books, which I hope doesn’t shock you too much. I firmly believe there is nothing inherently wrong with writing, as long as you do it in private and wash your hands after.
I never intended to publish Chromosome Quest; It was unabashed male fantasy. A friend insisted on seeing it. I was terrified! I felt she would hate it, and feared she might never speak to me again. Instead, she loved it and insisted I should publish it.

Chromosome Quest: Daring, Dinosaurs, and the Clockwork Apocalypse

Chromosome Quest: Daring, Dinosaurs, and the Clockwork Apocalypse

From Cyber Zero to Cosmic Hero: A Nerd’s Journey of Triumph and Discovery

Fitz is desperate to make rent when a naked redhead and bizarre recruitment ad upend his world. Whisked to a tropical world of fur-bearing humans and carnivorous dinosaurs, Fitz lands in a stone-age society that strips away his norms and taboos.

But he hasn’t just escaped his mundane life—he’s plunged into a mission of cosmic proportions. Fitz must navigate a fractured world where libidinous, free-spirited aliens and nightmarish creatures coexist, while a rogue AI plots the extinction of humanity. Naked but for his wits and newfound allies, Fitz faces grueling trials and steamy encounters that push him beyond his limits.

Warning: This tale packs dinosaurs, alien love triangles, ribald humor, and uninhibited NSFW content into a shocking adventure that will keep you cringing and laughing from the first jot to the last tittle.
