How Human Chronicles Began
In 2011, T.R. Harris, a passionate sci-fi enthusiast, launched The Human Chronicles Saga with The Fringe Worlds. Inspired by classic space operas like Star Wars and the raw energy of military sci-fi, Harris crafted a universe where humans aren’t just survivors—they’re superheroes among aliens. His vision was simple: create fun, fast-paced stories celebrating human resilience without heavy social commentary. The series took off, fueled by fans craving Adam Cain’s bold adventures.
The Heart of Human Chronicles
The series kicks off with The Fringe Worlds, where Adam Cain, a kidnapped Navy SEAL, discovers he’s stronger and faster than most aliens in a strange galaxy. He teams up with fellow human Riyad Tarazi to fight their way home, facing space pirates and the scheming Klin. Alien Assassin follows, with Cain embracing his role as a galactic hitman, outwitting foes with his superhuman edge. Later, A Galaxy to Conquer wraps a major arc, pitting Cain and his crew against galactic empires in an epic showdown. The Dead Worlds, from the Adam Cain Chronicles spin-off, sees Cain running a bar on a tropical planet—until stolen superweapons spark chaos.
Human Chronicles shines through its themes of human superiority, camaraderie, and defiance. Harris’s galaxy is a gritty, vibrant playground of space battles, alien politics, and witty banter. Adam’s “alien with an attitude” persona, paired with allies like the feisty Sherri Valentine, grounds the series in relatable humor and heart. The setting, spanning the Milky Way and beyond, feels alive with diverse species and constant conflict, making every book a pulse-pounding escape.
