About the Author

Professor Geoffrey Frank Grant, B.S.A., M.Sc., Ph.D., is a scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, and world-champion athlete whose life reads like a cross between Michael Crichton and Forbes. An expatriate Brit raised in the rugged wilderness of Canada’s Haisla Nation, he rejected feudal roots to pioneer breakthroughs in molecular biology (co-discovering somatostatin with Nobel Laureate Roger Guillemin), biotechnology (mentoring startups and leading aquaculture ventures), and even sports tech (inventing the first electronic tennis line-judge system).

A tenured professor at the University of Texas and former researcher at the Salk Institute, Grant’s 40+ scientific publications in Science and Nature underpin his debut sci-fi novel, Chasing Longevity—where genetic engineering meets humanity’s oldest dream. Off the page, he’s a 10-time U.S. Senior Tennis Champion, 2002 World Doubles Titleholder, and relentless innovator. Now retired in San Diego, he swaps lab coats for golf clubs… and pens speculative fiction as bold as his real-life legacy.
