Carrick Ferguson was born in Scotland, raised in France, and now lives in England with his wife and two daughters. He has had an unusual career journey, having worked as a tree surgeon, cameraman and film-editor, blacksmith, social worker, teacher, translator, freelance editor, and—most recently—for more than a decade in finance. A lifelong reader of science fiction and fantasy, he grew up devouring stories that blended myth, philosophy, and adventure. His greatest influences range from Terry Pratchett’s wit to George R. R. Martin’s moral complexity and Eiichiro Oda’s boundless imagination. Carrick studied astrobiology and children’s literature at university, where he became fascinated by the ways myth and science mirror each other in exploring what it means to be human. The King of the Peloponnese is his debut novel and the opening volume in a sweeping series that reimagines the meeting of history’s greatest heroes under the gaze of distant gods.
