San Diego, CA – The Lost Outpost, the newly released science fiction novel by Joshua Quentin Hawk, invites readers into a universe on the brink of collapse, where the fate of humanity rests in the hands of a man who has forgotten who he is. Now available in hardcover on Amazon, the novel blends deep emotional storytelling with high-stakes interstellar adventure, mystery, and compelling futuristic science.
Set in the year 2260, The Lost Outpost follows Commander Daniel Bowers, a renowned Environmental Planetary Scientist and Archaeologist assigned to evaluate a recently discovered planet for colonization. During the mission, Bowers becomes entangled with an ancient force of unknown origin, propelling him forward in time to the year 2273. There he finds a galaxy controlled by corruption, betrayal, and weaponized alien technology.
As fractured alliances and hidden agendas unfold, Bowers must rediscover his identity, reunite a skeptical team, and stop both a political uprising and an otherworldly threat capable of rewriting life itself. The question remains: Will he complete the mission that began in the past, or allow the future to be consumed by domination and chaos?
A Story Forged Through Real-World Resilience
Joshua Quentin Hawk, originally from Portsmouth, Virginia and now residing in San Diego, California, brings personal strength and lived experience to his writing. A survivor of chronic kidney failure, Hawk began writing his first novel while undergoing prolonged medical treatment, transforming adversity into creative purpose.
“I’ve wanted to write since high school,” Hawk shares. “Going through everything I did, made me realize that the time is now. I had to tell this story.”
With a background in network engineering and a strong academic interest in environmental, geological, and forensic sciences, Hawk blends realism and imagination to create a universe that feels both extraordinary and scientifically grounded.
