ABOUT the AUTHOR

Jeff Knoblauch

Jeffery Knoblauch writes hard science fiction focused on finite systems, accumulated consequences, and the long-term realities of human survival in space.

His Journey of Atlantis series explores radiation exposure, life-support fragility, long-duration isolation, and intelligent adversaries that operate within physical limits rather than cinematic shortcuts.

Rather than treating technology as a solution that resets problems, his work examines how systems degrade over time and how decisions leave lasting marks.

He writes for readers who value scientific consistency, systems thinking, and science fiction that respects physics.

What People Are Saying!

I don’t know about you but I love a good hard SciFi novel: especially one with the technical feats required to build an interstellar spaceship with the capacity for 15 million of humanity’s finest. And that’s exactly what The Journey of Atlantis delivers.

Matthew Teague

Loved every bit of it! I'm not a fan of sci-fi genre so I honestly couldn't even tell you what enticed me to read this in the first place but I am so glad I did. The plot was believable, characters and their progressive loss and replacement melded well together. All in all a great story.

Failtelorn

The way this book was written grabbed me right from the beginning and kept my attention throughout. It was intelligent, weird, sad, dark, deep, tragic, suspenseful, and with profound psychological elements I’ve never read about before. And while the beginning may have more setup than action, the tension continues to build throughout, and the ending will definitely leave you wanting more!

How do you handle artificial gravity on Atlantis?

I made use of the centripital accelleration formula to calclulate the rotation necessary for 1G gravity. Then converted it into revolutions per minute for a 1 mile diameter cylinder and that comes to 1.05 RPM! BONUS- The tangential velocity at the rim comes to approximately 200 MPH!

Is this extrapolation about Atlantis based on current research?

Yes! We are seeing many technologies begining to evolve of which many applications exist. 3D printers, material research, energy requirements, potential FTL science. FTL travel may not happen for many years, but it is not impossible. That's what science fiction does. Show how the impossible is possible.
