William Rongholt is a science fiction author whose work explores the human cost of survival in vast, often unforgiving universes. His Chronicles of the Space Marauders series blends space opera, political tension, and deeply personal character journeys set against the cold expanse of the stars. With roots in tabletop role-playing and narrative design, Rongholt brings a systems-driven approach to storytelling—where choices carry weight, alliances shift, and no victory comes without consequence. His stories are shaped by moral ambiguity, found family, and the question of what people are willing to become when the universe pushes back.

A routine job goes sideways when Jericho uncovers a powerful artifact tied to a galaxy-shaking conspiracy. Suddenly, he’s hunted by the United Stars’ indoctrination forces, rogue machines, and factions desperate to claim the artifact for themselves. Every step closer to the truth puts his crew in deadlier crosshairs. From neon megacities to lawless frontier worlds, the Desperado faces cybernetic assassins, monstrous creatures, and the pasts each of them would rather forget. Cranston, the haunted pilot. Nix, the warrior with unfinished business. Voss, the sniper with a poet’s soul. Jorge, the gorilla-fighter with a heart of gold. And XR-7, whose evolving mind might save the galaxy… or ignite...
