C. R. Halden

C. R. Halden writes literary systems science fiction about institutions, integrity, and the stories cities tell to stay alive. Elonia: The Hand That Opened the Sky is the first novel.

The work sits in a cold Mandel/Leckie room: recovery-world gravity, institutional intelligence, anti-cathartic moral pressure. Not mass-market thriller scaffolding—award-shelf adjacent systems-SF.
