Stories of mysticism, empowerment, and evolving self-awareness.
Kent Wayne writes epic fantasy and military science fiction exploring adventure, human nature, and the development of a hero’s true inner strength.
Kent spent ten years in the military. Contrary to the stereotypes often portrayed in fiction, the military—like any part of society—contains the full spectrum of humanity. Heroism, stupidity, courage, cruelty, brilliance, and failure exist side by side, oftentimes in the exact same individual.
That experience informs Kent’s stories, but on a deeper level than a reductive focus on physical conflict. He explores a hero’s journey while wrestling with deeper questions about existential identity, the fundamental nature of our greater reality, and how that reconciles with a character’s worldview.
Atriya in the Echo Saga begins as a weapon and a tool that maintains the status quo. Over time, he begins to question the overarching control structure, and connect with deeper forces that influence his path.
Across his works—from the futuristic conflicts of Echo, to the expansive fantasy-scape of The Unbound Realm, to the chaotic multiversal comedy portrayed in Kor’Thank—Kent Wayne’s stories explore a simple idea:
Everyone is living through a uniquely personalized, multipart adventure.
Kent prefers to keep his personal life private. His stories are where he explores his philosophical and conceptual areas of interest.
If you’re curious about the worlds I build, the best place to start is the Echo Saga. Within that story, easter eggs cross over into Kor’Thank, then the Unbound Realm. Follow Atriya into a world of conflict, philosophy, and transformation.
