Dr. Brian Tissot is a marine ecologist, surfer, filmmaker, and science fiction writer living on the wild edge of the Pacific NW. With one foot in the world of hard science and the other in the tides of imagination, he writes visionary stories that blend marine biology, indigenous wisdom, and speculative futures. A lifelong explorer of waves and oceans, Brian has led pioneering research on coral reefs, kelp forests, and the deep sea, publishing widely in scientific journals and appearing in films and popular media.
His blog, science fiction writings and films reflect a deep reverence for the ocean and a poetic sensibility shaped by years of diving, surfing, and listening to the rhythms of the natural world. Brian’s stories often unfold in richly imagined worlds — part crumbling utopia, part sacred dreamscape — where ecology is destiny and memory is terrain. Whether charting alien oceans, haunted ruins, or spiral stairways rising from submerged cities, he writes with the heart of a surfer, the eye of a filmmaker, and the soul of a poet.

SCIENCE FICTION
The Songs of the Universe Trilogy is an epic science fiction saga about humanity’s place in a living, conscious cosmos.
When humans discover the ocean world Thalassa — home to an intelligent, cetacean-descended species called the Nesoi — everything changes. As tensions rise between exploitation and preservation, alliances form between humans and indigenous life who understand the planet in ways science alone cannot. The story explores survival, forgiveness, and whether humanity can evolve beyond its destructive instincts.
As Earth faces ecological and political collapse, a new generation must confront old wounds. Ancient wisdom, indigenous knowledge, and advanced technology collide as humanity struggles to decide what kind of civilization it wants to become. Personal stories of love, loss, and redemption unfold against a backdrop of global transformation.
In the final book, the scope expands beyond one planet. A hidden interstellar alliance known as the Engineers reveals that life across the galaxy has been guided for millions of years to foster consciousness itself. But a powerful civilization believes struggle and destruction are necessary for growth. The fate of entire worlds — and the moral direction of the universe — hangs in the balance.
Taken together, the Songs of the Universe trilogy forms a cohesive body of literary speculative fiction that blends epic space adventure with big philosophical questions about ecology, spirituality, responsibility, and the future of intelligent life. The books asks a single, enduring question: not how humanity might master the universe, but whether it can learn to belong within it—and what forms of love, song, and ethical restraint that belonging demands.
