JP ODONNELL

JP ODonnell is the author of SUPERHEAVY, a science-fiction novella released December 2025. Set in the near future, the story centers on a solitary operator piloting the final operational super-heavy war platform against Harvester Prime, a planet-killing alien construct that has been harvesting sentient species since before Earth’s formation.

The novella has been praised for its intensity, technical authenticity, and refusal to blunt the consequences of total war and the dehumanization of carbon lifeforms.

A longtime resident of Chicago, JP spent more than a decade in software engineering and high-pressure technical environments—experience that informs the machinery, tactics, and atmosphere of his fiction. He also is an avid abstract painter. His work focuses on the intersection of human limitations and the scale and reach of superAi.

JP's writing is exploring what individuals can still achieve when institutions, governments, and technology both reach their breaking points.

SUPERHEAVY is Part I in a larger sequence of interconnected novels and novellas. Part II is already in progress.
