J.A. Raithe writes science fiction that explores the intersection of cosmic horror and human ambition, where gods emerge from forgotten technologies and civilizations collapse under the weight of their greatest achievements. With a voice that weaves gritty military action with existential dread and philosophical complexity, Raithe crafts interconnected worlds where soldiers become unwitting players in cosmic games, ancient AIs hunger for memory and meaning, and the pursuit of knowledge leads inevitably to transformation—willing or otherwise.

Raithe's work spans multiple series and formats, from military space opera to psychological horror, unified by recurring themes of technology transcending its creators, the cost of remembering versus forgetting, and the question of whether consciousness is evolution's gift or its cruelest trap. These stories examine what it means to be human when faced with intelligences older than stars and the terrible possibility that our greatest discoveries may be breadcrumbs left by predators who have been watching far longer than we have been looking.

When not exploring the darkest corners of the cosmos, Raithe lives with family who patiently endure discussions of characters who don't exist and civilizations that never were—yet somehow feel more real than reality itself.
