I'm A. E. Henry, and I write books about spaceships and dragons.
My first novel, Not by Sword, is coming out later this year!
Milo thought being chosen by a prophet would make him a hero. Instead, it's turned his older brothers' jealousy into hatred. If he can survive one more season, he'll leave the pasture behind to study music on Ahino Station.
But when war ravages his homeworld and his family, Milo is summoned to appear before the capricious King Gera. At Hilltop Palace, Milo finds unlikely friends, forbidden love, and dangers lurking in every shadow.
The dark forces that besiege Hilltop boast a deadly champion, and the king promises glory to anyone with enough courage and faith to face the giant and survive.
Ancient history & Spaceships
Not by Sword is a space opera adaptation of the story of King David. You may recognize familiar characters and events, but you'll also be surprised at the wild twists and turns of the biblical narrative and how they play out in space. If you've ever read the Bible and thought, "You know what this needs? Spaceships and aliens!" then Not by Sword might be your next favorite novel.
Not by Sword is everything I could want in a science fiction novel. As I read, I found myself wanting to know each character more and keep exploring A. E. Henry's world. I'm already craving more of Milo's story!
