John Schettler
The author of perhaps the longest continuous story ever told — a battlecruiser adrift across the whole of WWII.
John Schettler is an extraordinarily prolific American author specializing in military fiction braided with time travel and alternate history. His bestselling Kirov Saga — spanning dozens of linked volumes — follows a modern Russian battlecruiser hurled through time into World War II, where the crew's every action ripples outward to reshape history, in one of the longest continuous narratives in the genre.
A former game designer of historical military simulations, Schettler grounds his sweeping naval and land battles in meticulous research, blending real history with science-fictional paradox. He also wrote the award-winning Meridian time-travel series. Expect immersive, detail-rich military action and intricate alternate-history consequences across a vast canvas. For readers who want an enormous, deeply researched future-and-past war saga to disappear into — the Kirov books especially — Schettler offers a uniquely sprawling and immersive reading experience.
