Robert Storey

Robert Storey is the creator of the Ancient Origins universe and the author of the first six books.

Writing came relatively late in life, after a car accident and a health condition that left Rob at his home in Kent in the UK, with time to finally start a career he had always dreamed of.

The result was a book called 2040: Revelations. Set on earth in the near future as a huge asteroid neared its inevitable collision. Part of the book was concerned with the political response to the cataclysmic event and part was a startling tale of an archaeological discovery that would turn earth's history upside down.

Both aspects of the story are grounded in real life. Many countries have secret plans for an extinction level event, including secretive underground bunkers. And plenty of archaeologists have discussed the possibility that the ground beneath us still holds many secrets.

With a growing fanbase of readers, Rob wrote and published five further books in the series, renaming them 'Ancient Origins' along the way.

Tragically, while working on books 7 and 8, Rob lost his life. He was just 42 years old.

Today Rob's books are published by Fuse Books in collaboration with Rob's parents Terry and Maureen.

Together they plan to posthumously publish Ancient Origins books 7 and 8.
