Christopher Gardner is a husband, father of two sons, and Eagle Scout living in Pittsburgh. Born in Columbus, Ohio, he is a lifelong outdoorsman who enjoys hiking, roughing it, traveling with his family, and seeking out the real places, histories, and unanswered questions that inspire his stories.

He is an Amazon bestselling author whose novels blend speculative science fiction, political intrigue, historical mystery, and deeply human questions about truth, survival, and belief.

His work includes The Other Side of the Sun series and The Truth Makers, a near-future thriller series exploring artificial intelligence, disinformation, quantum science, and the increasingly fragile boundary between reality and deception. Across his fiction, ordinary people are forced to confront extraordinary circumstances—and decide what they are willing to risk for the truth.
