The Expanse meets Game of Thrones in J. S. Dewes's fast-paced, sci-fi adventure The Last Watch, where a handful of soldiers stand between humanity and annihilation.

The Divide.

It’s the edge of the universe.

Now it’s collapsing ― and taking everyone and everything with it.

The only ones who can stop it are the Sentinels ― the recruits, exiles, and court-martialed dregs of the military.

At the Divide, Adequin Rake, commanding the Argus, has no resources, no comms ― nothing, except for the soldiers that no one wanted.

They're humanity's last chance.

J. S. Dewes

J. S. Dewes

J. S. Dewes is a storyteller whose creativity is as vast as the worlds she builds. With a background in film production from Columbia College Chicago, she took an unconventional path into writing, weaving cinematic depth into her science fiction novels. Her journey began behind the camera, where she served as a cinematographer for independent films and a lighting designer for political figures—a job so routine that it became mundane. But even the most ordinary moments can spark extraordinary ideas, and Dewes found herself drawn to the art of storytelling on the page, where she could create entire universes.

Dewes’ debut novel, The Last Watch, launched her into the realm of space opera, where she has since carved a unique niche. Her The Divide series, a thrilling blend of high-stakes adventure and emotional depth, captivates readers with its tight pacing, complex characters, and sharp, atmospheric writing. These novels are a tribute to her cinematic roots, featuring vivid settings and a plot structure that feels almost like watching a gripping, visually stunning film unfold. Dewes’ writing explores the themes of survival, duty, and the cost of war, all set against the backdrop of a universe teetering on the brink of collapse.

Her journey into the world of novels was never planned. After years spent working on set and bringing stories to life in visual form, Dewes realized that her love for storytelling wasn’t confined to the screen. There was more to explore within the boundless expanse of words, and that discovery led her to create The Exiled Fleet and The Relentless Legion, which further cemented her as a fresh voice in the science fiction community. Readers appreciate her ability to balance grand, sweeping narratives with deeply personal moments that give her characters the space to breathe.

Residing in Madison, Wisconsin, Dewes shares her life with her husband, two dogs, and a cat whose antics are as unpredictable as her novels. When she isn’t crafting new worlds or navigating the vast reaches of space in her stories, she’s often found connecting with readers and sharing her behind-the-scenes process on social media. Whether you’re diving into her The Divide series or exploring her latest release, J. S. Dewes’ work is a journey worth taking, one where the stakes are high, the characters unforgettable, and the adventure never quite over.
