Worlds with rules, and people who have to learn them.
Four series. One author. Start anywhere. Brian Moyer writes science fantasy with rules — worlds where magic behaves like physics and bureaucracy behaves like weather, and people who must work out which is which before it kills them. Every series stands on its own. No explicit content, no strong language. Pick the one that sounds like your kind of trouble.
The Series
Available now
Splintered World
Ama pulls off a Wyoming highway to sleep and wakes on bare earth under the wrong stars. No roads, no towns, no way back — and what you can do depends on where you landed. Set in the real Red Desert.

Backwater Worlds
Tally rated the night before her wedding five stars. In her own handwriting. She can’t remember a minute of it. Comedy-forward science fantasy about paperwork, devotion, and the difference between knowing someone and asking them.

One-Star PlanetIn production
Severed Worlds
Space is punctured with pinholes, and each one leaks a thread of gamma at a single exact energy. Couple a boat to one and the gauge climbs past six gravities while your body feels nothing. Some crews walk off the ride. Some don’t. Nobody knows why.

Blind Side Quest
An unstamped envelope, his name and nothing else. Invite only. Strictly plus-zero. The card answers one question per asking, truthfully. Within a week strangers are offering four hundred thousand in cash for it. An invitation-only world that runs on standing and fine print — and a man who reads fine print for a living.

Brian Moyer
Writes grounded science fantasy: worlds where ability follows rules as strict as physics, and survival depends on what people are willing to teach each other. The Splintered World series is published in ebook and audiobook, performed by Audie Award winner Luke Daniels.
