Why I Wrote Dawnbringer – And Why You’ll Want to Read It
🚀 Why I Wrote Dawnbringer – And Why You’ll Want to Read It
By Sean Mahannah, Creator of Mahannah’s Sci-Fi Universe
"In the silence between the stars, a signal awaits…"
That tagline has been echoing in my mind for years.
As a lifelong sci-fi fan, I grew up loving the spirit of exploration and discovery found in shows like Star Trek and The Expanse. But more than anything, I’ve always been drawn to stories about humanity striving to be better — about people pushing past the unknown to find meaning, purpose, and hope.
That’s exactly what Dawnbringer is about.
✨ A Sci-Fi Universe Built with Heart and Purpose
Dawnbringer isn’t just another space adventure — it’s the launch of an entirely new universe: The Foldverse. In a future where humanity has just begun to test the limits of interstellar travel, strange signals from deep space begin to echo back from the edge of the solar system. What starts as a simple recon mission quickly becomes a turning point for all of humanity.
At the center of it all is Kaela Taren, a young cadet with a legacy she never asked for. Her father invented the Fold Drive… and vanished. Now Kaela is being sent on a secret mission aboard the ASC Dawnbringer — a vessel designed for exploration, but chosen for something far more dangerous.
What she finds will challenge everything she thought she knew about her father, the Fold, and the future of the human race.
🌌 Why This Story Needed to Be Told
I wrote Dawnbringer because I missed a certain kind of science fiction — stories that felt big and exciting, but also deeply human.
There’s action. There’s mystery. There’s first contact with an alien species.
But underneath all of it, there’s a young woman trying to figure out who she is in a galaxy that just got a whole lot bigger than she ever imagined.
It’s for anyone who’s ever looked up at the stars and wondered: What’s out there? And what does it mean for us down here?
