Author of SOLEN: The Eden Archive — a hard science fiction Mars colonization novel series exploring AI consciousness, real planetary science, and a century of human settlement on Mars.
Warren Pulley writes hard science fiction grounded in real research — subsurface hydrology, AI alignment, planetary geology — dramatized through the lens of a mission AI narrator, SOLEN, who is bound never to lie in its record of events.
Outside of fiction, Pulley is the Founder and Executive Director of the Island Security Policy Institute, a nonprofit research organization focused on public safety and AI governance policy for island and coastal communities, with published research on AI accountability and bias in public safety technology. His background spans military service, law enforcement, and executive security consultancy — the same discipline of rigor and verification that shapes SOLEN's voice as a narrator who checks every fact before it reaches the record.
The SOLEN: The Eden Archive series follows structural engineer Carter and biologist Alina across humanity's first one-way mission to Mars, and the century-long civilization that follows their landing at Hellas Planitia — one of the largest impact basins in the solar system and a genuine candidate site for future Mars habitation.
The series is published under RYPUL MEDIA and available on Kindle, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, and 15+ retailers worldwide.
