Explore unique sci-fi worlds

Mark Vatani is the author of The Orphans of Man, a character-driven science fiction saga that explores discovery, identity, and the fragile unity of civilizations spread across three moons. His stories blend the scale of space exploration with the intimacy of character driven emotion, capturing the wonder of distant worlds and the moral weight of the choices that shape them.

The worlds themselves come alive, wit sweeping vistas, and living ecologies. They are just as much a character as any protagonist.

In The Wings of Fate, the first novel in the series, three very different travelers embark on a mission that unravels the mysteries of their shared past. Mark’s writing dives deep into culture, connection, and what it means to discover the truth of the past.

When he’s not writing, Mark is world-building—crafting detailed planetary systems, societies, and histories that give each story a living, breathing universe. His passion lies in creating science fiction that feels real, where discovery and reflection go hand in hand.
