About the AUTHOR

About Brian Bullock

Brian spent thirty-five years as a quality inspector at Boeing — a job where finding problems, demanding accountability, and ensuring nothing dangerous slipped through wasn't optional. That same uncompromising eye now shapes the universe he writes.

The Books

The Sentinel Trilogy begins when pilot Bron Matthews discovers an ancient alien base beneath the lunar surface — and gets pulled into a conflict that spans eleven thousand years, multiple species, and questions humanity was never meant to ask. But the story isn't about explosions and fleet battles. It's about a man who loses his language and has to relearn who he is. A mother who writes a letter she knows her daughter may never read. A child who stows away on a cargo ship because she has no one left to stay for.

Brian writes science fiction where the universe is vast and terrifying, but the moments that break you are small and human.

The Sentinel Universe

The trilogy is the entry point into a much larger world — five complete series spanning a fifty-million-year timeline, seventy-two planned short stories, and a web of civilizations connected by technology humanity is only beginning to understand. Brian built that world from the ground up. Alien species with deep histories. Technology grounded in real physics. A station that feels like it has been holding its breath for centuries.

After the Sentinel Trilogy comes the Awakening Trilogy — picking up ten years later, when the question shifts from survival to discovery. Now that we know we're not alone, what do we do with everything that's out there waiting?

The Audio Stories

Brian creates original one to two hour science fiction narratives built for listening. Some expand the universe of The Sentinel Trilogy, while others explore entirely new worlds. Each story is complete and standalone, narrated in a professional AI voice and paired with AI-generated visuals on YouTube — immersive experiences designed to respect your time.

The short stories aren't side material. They're foundation. Threads that lead into the trilogy, expand the corners the books couldn't reach, and connect to a universe still being built.
