Kevin Gillen is a retired federal officer and graduate of the University of Maryland whose career took him around the world, where he explored ancient sites like the Great Pyramids of Giza, Petra, and Angkor Wat. Those experiences sparked a deep fascination with lost civilizations, hidden histories, and the question: what if we’ve only uncovered a fraction of humanity’s past?
That question became the foundation for Echo of Atlantis, the first book in his six-part sci-fi epic fantasy series, The Ūmdëdŭ Codex.
Kevin writes fast-paced stories that blend mystery, action-adventure, and science fiction with epic fantasy—where ancient secrets collide with modern forces and every discovery raises the stakes. Readers can expect hidden worlds, powerful conspiracies, and twists that challenge everything we think we know about history.
When he’s not writing, Kevin enjoys delving into science fiction and fantasy across books, movies, and television, drawing inspiration from classic series like Encyclopedia Brown, The Hardy Boys, and Robert Ludlum's works.
