Nicky Hooke

A software engineer and avid astrophotographer based in Scotland.

Fascinated by the intersection of complex mechanical systems and the vastness of space, Nicky uses his technical background to ground his narratives in gritty realism.

When he isn’t exploring the night sky through a telescope, he is crafting hard science fiction focused on survival and the resilience of the human spirit.

Cold Soak: A Lunar Survival Story is his debut novella.
