Victor Darnell Hadnot: is an African American Christian Science Fiction writer. He has written many short stories for over the last forty years. He wrote his first science fiction manuscript when he was nine years old. Since then he has been writing science fiction to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Over the course of time he has written many short stories and to date ten books. The author was born in 1954 in West Los Angeles, California. He lived through the turbulent times of the sixties and the various movements that followed. The riots of the sixties and the Civil Rights movement left an impression on him as a young boy. He later moved to the Hopi Reservation where he witnessed first hand the plight of the Native American and he developed a deep appreciation of their struggles. Later when he was older he served in the United States Air Force, stationed in Mildenhall, England, where he served and immersed himself into the local culture, later he received an Honorable Discharge. It was through those periods of time that the author developed a sense of the need for Christian Science Fiction. The author later attended Mt.San Antonio College in Walnut California, where he studied engineering, technology and creative writing.

Throughout the author’s life more than one near miss with death took place that the author attributes to Jesus Christ for saving him. The first divine intervention was when the author was in the military and he was taking a flight to connect with a trans-Atlantic flight to England. In the airport the Holy Spirit came to him and prompted him to pray. After struggling with the notion, the author gave in and prayed the Lord’s Prayer, silently, then went on. While in-flight, the plane was routed to another location. His trans-Atlantic flight left without him. When he did arrive in England on another flight, he found out to his horror, that the flight he was suppose to be on had crashed killing everyone onboard. It was then that he understood why the Spirit of God had prompted him to “pray”. Later when the author was out of the service, he had been riding his motorcycle, then came the Spirit again to him, and would ask him a series of questions regarding what he’d do if he was in a motorcycle accident, this went on for about a month, with the author answering the questions put forth. Then finally one day, the questions stopped coming. It was a month later and the author was in a motorcycle accident. Based on the prompting of the Holy Spirit prior, he let go of the motorcycle and went flying into the middle of the street. As the author hit the ground, he wasn’t wearing a helmet, he felt two hands lifting his head up from the asphalt, cupped under his head, keeping his head for hitting the asphalt. It was later told him by the paramedics that if his head had hit the asphalt moving at the speed he was going, he would have surely suffered serious brain damage if not death. Through a series of personal miracles the author developed an appreciation of how God does indeed, affect our lives in very real and positive ways. And it has been with those and other personal dealings with the Lord Jesus Christ in his life that he turned his writing to doing the Lord’s work, and writing stories that are positive towards God and his way, all while telling science fiction with a positive point of view towards God.
