Jeremy Robinson (born October 22, 1974), also known as Jeremy Bishop,Jeremiah Knight, and other pen names, is an author of sixty novels and novellas.[1] He is known for mixing elements of science, history, and mythology. Many of his novels have been adapted into comic books, optioned for film and TV, and translated into thirteen languages. He is the author of the Nemesis Saga, the Chess Team series, and the non-fiction title, The Screenplay Workbook (2003, Lone Eagle Press).[2]
Robinson was born in Beverly, Massachusetts, where he lived until he was 20. He resides in New Hampshire with his wife and three children, where he works as a full-time writer.
Robinson is a gamer and his experiences while gaming with a group of friends formed the basis for his 2018 novel Space Force, which is loosely based on the Battle Royale game format and features many tropes from that genre.
Career
Robinson's career as a writer started out in comic books with several stints on indie comics. After that he wrote screenplays, several of which were produced, optioned or in development (including the screenplay version of The Didymus Contingency). His switch to book writing came with The Screenplay Workbook in 2003. He has since written over sixty novels, which are available in twelve languages, including the Nemesis Saga and the Chess Team series published by Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin's Press. Robinson is a former director of New Hampshire AuthorFest,[3] a non-profit organization promoting literacy in New Hampshire.

Fiction
Origins series (2005–2010)
Origins refers to the first five novels written by Jeremy Robinson.[4]
The Antarktos Saga is an expansion of Antarktos Rising and is set on the book's tropical paradise version of Antarctica after the continent's thawing.[5]
The Last Hunter primarily revolves around Solomon Ull Vincent ("Solomon" after Robinson's son, "Ull" after the Norse god Ullr), the first child born on the continent, kidnapped and mentored by a fictional version of Antarctic explorer Belgrave Edward Sutton Ninnis as a hunter for the Nephilim residing in subterranean Antarctica.
The Collected Edition contains the short story "The Children of Antarktos", where an adult Solomon and his wife raise two daughters in the aftermath of the series.
Robinson also co-wrote a follow-up companion novella, which centers around Norah Kainda Vincent, Solomon's younger daughter, who sets out to save her older sister Aquila.
The Jack Sigler / Chess Team series follows the adventures of a group of military operators founded to combat mysterious and mythical threats to the world.
The Nemesis Saga follows the fictional Homeland Security's fictional Fusion Center-P (Paranormal) and their exploits with the ancient Goddess of Vengeance, the massive Kaiju Nemesis.
The Refuge series revolves around the eponymous fictional small town in New Hampshire as a group of residents is caught in a rapture-like phenomenon that transports the town through a unique trans-dimensional journey each entry, deliberately serialized according to the style of a seasonal TV show format.[7]
