Robert Albo

Bob Albo is a science fiction and fantasy author who began his writing journey in 2018, following a 20-year career in the tech industry. He's written eight books to date.

His first 3-book series, Her Dark Matter Necklace, is a sci-fi fantasy coming of age story. His fourth book, 2040, is near future sci-fi. His fifth book, The Fifth Seal, is a sci-fi fantasy with religious themes. His sixth book, Echoes in Millennia, is a continuation of 2040. His seventh book, The Spirit Reader, is Native American fantasy. His eighth book, The Hydra Awakens, concludes the 2040 series. A recurring theme runs through all his books.

Starting with his physics classes at UC Berkeley, Bob was amazed how the universe worked together perfectly to enable life. One explanation, the one supported by most scientists, was an infinite number of random universes where we happened to live in the right one. An alternative explanation was a universal God that designed the universe, but this carried many philosophical questions like what created this God, what is its purpose, what's our purpose, what's the role of consciousness in all of this.

These questions inspire his writing, as his characters deal with their desires versus a higher calling, with the story set in a context of new technologies or powers and their impact on society.

When he's not writing, he enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife, Sarah, in their home in Orinda, California. He continues to draw inspiration from his lifelong love of science, his faith, and his observations of today’s world.
