Nicky Rae is an English science fiction author who delights in twisting the strange, the surreal, and the darkly comedic into unforgettable tales. With a penchant for absurdity and a love of the uncanny, his stories dive headfirst into worlds where alien bureaucrats file paperwork in triplicate, time travelers bumble through paradoxes, and sentient software has far too many feelings. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Douglas Adams and Ian McEwan, Nicky’s writing balances razor-sharp humor with just enough realism to keep him grounded.

Originally writing humorous fantasy under the pseudonym Nicky Blue, he later embraced his love of cosmic weirdness and rebranded—ushering in the era of his upcoming Mars Force Three series. When not spinning tales of interstellar chaos, Nicky can be found walking acrosss the Sussex Downs or indulging in his love of theatre and stand-up comedy.
