Johan M. Dahlgren About me

I am a Swedish science fiction author. Over the years I have been an elite soldier, windsurfer, film maker, downhill skier, musician, artist and office slave.

I'm in no way related to Samuel R. Delany. My last name just happens to be almost identical to Delany's seminal novel, Dhalgren.

My work has (quite undeservedly) been compared to that of Richard K. Morgan's best selling Altered Carbon, Gavin G. Smith's Veteran novels and Neal Asher's Polity novels. My current project is the Worldburner Suite, a dystopian cyberpunk tech noir series of sci-fi thrillers.
I live with my girlfriend, two kids and a cat in Kungsbacka, Sweden.

I'm published by Next Chapter.

With a new setting and some unforgettable new characters this is a must-read for every Dahlgren and sci-fi-fan.

What in the beginning seems like separate story threads are slowly twined together and in the end the weave reveals a bigger truth.
