About the Author

Mike Gullickson's debut novel, the cyberpunk bestseller The Northern Star: The Beginning, was hailed by Examiner in 2013 as one of "The Top 5 Indie Published Books You Haven't Read But Should." For its sequel, Midwest Book Review stated "…it's military sci-fi and futuristic cyber-reality at its best." And in reviewing the final novel, The New Podler Review of Books stated that "the whole series is a science fiction masterpiece."

Mike has been interviewed as a bionics expert on Lieberman Live! (SiriusXM Howard 101) and featured on Netheads (a Kevin Smith SModcast).

The Northern Star trilogy is currently being shopped by Solipsist Film (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Metro 2033, Instinct) to be made into a major motion picture.

The Seethe was Mike's attempt at a YA novel. It's… not.

Mike lives in Manhattan Beach, California with his wife and two children.
