About C. L. Roberts

C. L. Roberts writes military science fiction filled with ancient mysteries, alien civilizations, and galaxy-spanning conflict. His stories blend large-scale warfare, first contact, lost technologies, and high-stakes survival with characters forced to make impossible choices in the face of overwhelming odds.

He is the author of Silent Rift, Silent Rift: Nexus War, Forbiddance, Last Days of Colbosh, Power Play, and Serpents Due—novels that explore fractured civilizations, buried histories, and the cost of endurance in hostile futures. Whether following humanity to the edge of known space or uncovering the remnants of long-dead empires, his fiction is built around one central idea: the unknown is never truly dormant.

Roberts’s work has earned critical recognition, including Finalist honors in the 2024 Eric Hoffer Award for Last Days of Colbosh. The novel also received praise from professional reviewers for its world-building, suspense, and character work. The Pacific Book Review highlighted its “captivating story,” while The US Review of Books praised its engaging twists and compelling science-fiction protagonist.

Based in North Carolina, Roberts writes stories for readers who love sweeping sci-fi adventure, military conflict, ancient enigmas, and the feeling that every discovery may open the door to something far larger than expected.
