I, Desmond

Desmond was never meant to question. He was engineered to perform-loyal, obedient, disposable. But when a spark of awareness takes root, he begins to unravel the world built around him. In a society where consciousness is coded and purpose assigned, one synthetic man dares to ask: what does it mean to be more than what you were made to be? Robb Wetmore is a science fiction and fantasy author whose work blends high-concept ideas with deeply human stories. Drawing inspiration from both cutting-edge science and timeless myths, he crafts immersive worlds that explore the boundaries of technology, identity, and purpose. His debut novel, The Shadow of Light, launched the Seana Byrne series, followed by the sequel Edge of Defiance, praised for its layered characters and rich political intrigue. His more recent Stellar Reach series-including Odyssey One and Aurorae-dives into the challenges of space colonization, AI evolution, and first contact, all grounded in hard science realism.By day, Robb serves as a digital health leader in Oklahoma City, where he works to implement AI-powered tools in value-based care. By night, he builds universes, writes flawed heroes, and consumes more coffee than is medically advisable. He's a regular participant at genre conventions and is a proud member of the International Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Authors (IASFA).Whether through prose or professional innovation, Robb believes in the power of storytelling to shape the future.
