Simon Hawke
A genre journeyman whose time-travel saga wove real history through the world's great works of literature.
Simon Hawke is an American author best known for the TimeWars series, a long run of science-fiction adventures about an organization that protects history from meddling time travelers — with each book cleverly weaving its action through a famous work of literature, from Ivanhoe to The Three Musketeers. It's a smart, playful premise executed with brisk pulp energy.
Writing earlier as Nicholas Yermakov and later under his own chosen name, Hawke also produced Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek tie-ins and a range of other series fiction. His strength is fast, accessible, concept-driven adventure. Expect time-travel intrigue, literary in-jokes, and propulsive storytelling. For readers who want clever, entertaining science fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously — especially fans of time-travel adventure with a bookish twist — Hawke's TimeWars saga is a genuinely fun discovery.
