About the Author
Nick Rees-Evans was born and raised in West Sussex, England, where his curiosity for stories and history first took root. After attending Petworth Primary and Midhurst Grammar School, his family relocated to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. There, Nick began an apprenticeship at Theatre Aquarius, launching a career in stage management that took him across the country.
A lifelong lover of history and antiquities, Nick’s adventures extend beyond the stage—he’s a licensed diving instructor fascinated by what lies beneath the ocean’s surface, and he spends his free time metal detecting, magnet fishing, and cheering British football.
Now living in Stratford, Ontario, with his wife Juliet, their dog and cat, Nick brings his passion for storytelling and discovery to his debut novel, The Forefathers.
About the Book — The Forefathers
One man’s despair becomes humanity’s last hope.
Dylan Stone has lost everything—his career, his pride, and the trust of the family he once lived for. With nothing left to hold on to, he retreats deep into the wilderness, ready to let go of life itself.
But buried beneath the earth, Dylan uncovers a spacecraft—silent, ancient, and holding the last hope of an entire world. When he awakens its final surviving crew member. He is told a story of a deadly virus that decimated their planet and their desperate search for cure.
Thrust into a mission beyond imagination, Dylan must confront his past, rediscover his strength, and face an impossible choice: save a world he’s never known, or lose the one he thought he’d already lost.
The clock is ticking. Humanity is on the brink. And one broken man holds the key.

“Vivid, imaginative, and deeply human—this book kept me hooked from start to finish. This was such an engaging read. The story blends sci-fi elements with deeply relatable characters, making it feel both imaginative and grounded in the human experience. I could tell the author drew inspiration from personal experiences and relationships, which added an authentic emotional layer to the story even as the plot expanded into new, fictional worlds, characters and situations. The suspense kept me turning the pages, and the writing was so vivid I could clearly picture the scenes unfolding in my mind’s eye. A thoughtful and captivating exploration of the human condition through the lens of science fiction.”
