Welcome to my website and to the people and worlds that have sprung to life in my imagination. I hope you enjoy or will come to enjoy meeting all of them.

The novels of the Star Commandos series form the core of my work to date. Each tale can be read independently, but together, they form an ongoing story of high adventure and strong characters bound to one another in ever-deepening relationships as they work together to build their own future and their ultrasystem's. All will be made available by ArcheBooks in a hardcover collector set with the older ones being carefully revised and edited prior to publication. Already, STAR COMMANDOS 01, STAR COMMANDOS 02 COLONY IN PERIL, STAR COMMANDOS 03 MISSION UNDERGROUND, and STAR COMMANDOS 04 DEATH PLANET, the first books in the saga, are available, as are STAR COMMANDOS 11 PARIAH and STAR COMMANDOS 12 WAR PRINCE, the conclusion of this exciting extended tale.

Besides writing in my own universe, I have enjoyed the great privilege of being able to work in three created by Andre Norton, the Grand Dame of Science Fiction. There is a tale each in her two-novel Witch World volumes STORMS OF VICTORY and FLIGHT OF VENGEANCE. In addition, FIREHAND is a continuation of her Time Traders series and REDLINE THE STARS of the Solar Queen series. I have also had the pleasure of contributing stories to a number of anthologies she edited including all the CATFANTASTIC books.

STAR COMMANDOS 04
DEATH PLANET

Sogan is too familiar with the planet Mirelle. During the War, the crews of a fighter squad from his former fleet fell victim to the world’s deadly, seasonally active fungus, and the only vessel to return almost claimed his life.

“I appreciate very much having had the chance to read Pauline Griffin’s STAR COMMANDOS. This is excellent s-f adventure, but it also contains depth in its characters and awakens in the reader a constant desire to know more of them and a concern for them. I consider this one of the best stories of its type that I have read for some time. And I hope to meet the two protagonists again in some future story. This is s-f adventure at its brightest and best.”
