Pierre Bordage is a renowned French science fiction author, born on January 29, 1955, in La Réorthe, Vendée. He is celebrated as one of France's best-selling science fiction writers, with over 20 novels published in just over a decade. His works frequently explore spiritual aspects of society, expertly blending classic adventure storytelling with reflections on the future and the present.

His novel La Citadelle Hyponéros earned him the Cosmos 2000 prize in 1996, and in 2008, he won the Cezam Prix Littéraire Inter CE for Porteur d’âmes. Bordage's books, although bestsellers in France and translated into several European languages, face challenges when it comes to English publication, particularly in the United States.

Bordage's writing is influenced by notable figures such as Philip José Farmer, Robert A. Heinlein, Frank Herbert, Orson Scott Card, and the cultural impact of Star Wars.
