The Tau Ceti Gambit (The Vethrak Requiem Book 2) by Justin Wilson
Justin Wilson

Justin Wilson

I lead technology teams in the enterprise world, working at the intersection of high-stakes decision-making, human complexity, and long-term consequence. Whether I’m writing about leadership or imagining future civilizations, my work is driven by the same question: how do people act when the pressure is real and the answers are not obvious?

I am not a pastor or a theorist. I am a practitioner. My leadership writing is grounded in Scripture, approached with intellectual honesty, and tested against real-world environments where power, politics, and responsibility collide. The leaders found in the Bible were not idealized figures, they were flawed humans navigating impossible choices. That tension is where I believe lasting wisdom lives.

In my science fiction, those same themes surface through different lenses: authority, sacrifice, loyalty, belief, and the cost of survival. I am drawn to stories that explore what happens when individuals and societies are forced to choose between comfort and conviction, control and conscience.

Across both genres, I write without platitudes and without easy answers. No Christianese. No moral shortcuts. Just grounded exploration of leadership, identity, and integrity when the stakes are high.

My work is for readers who want depth, whether they are seeking faith-anchored leadership insights or immersive speculative worlds that wrestle with timeless human questions.

The Vethrak Requiem

In 2125, humanity learned a terrible truth: we are not alone in the universe, and we are not safe.

The Vethrak arrived without warning, without negotiation, without mercy. They call themselves "Those Who Claim," and to them, the harvesting of intelligent species is as...

Why Wisdom Rarely Screams A client email lands in your inbox at 4:53 PM on

A client email lands in your inbox at 4:53 PM on a Friday. The subject line alone makes your blood pressure spike. You read three sentences and feel the immediate need to respond right now, to set the record straight, to make sure they understand what really happened before the weekend begins. Your fingers are already forming the reply in your mind. Every cell in your body is screaming that this is urgent, that waiting even one hour is cowardice, that you must act immediately. This feeling,...

Standing Guard on a Tuesday Afternoon It is 2:47 PM on a Tuesday. You are

It is 2:47 PM on a Tuesday. You are tired. The afternoon stretches ahead like a desert. Your inbox is full of mediocre problems. A coworker just sent a passive-aggressive Slack message. You feel the pull to reply with something sharp, something that will let them know you noticed their tone. Your fingers hover over the keyboard. This moment, this utterly unremarkable Tuesday afternoon moment, matters more than you think.

Most leaders prepare for the crisis. We rehearse the difficult...

The 4 A’s: An Overview You are standing at a gate. Behind you lies

You are standing at a gate. Behind you lies everything you have built: your reputation, your relationships, your team’s trust, your own integrity. In front of you, a stranger approaches. Maybe it is an impulse to send that email. Maybe it is a surge of anger at a colleague’s comment. Maybe it is panic telling you to make a decision right now. The stranger arrives fast, dressed convincingly, demanding entry. What do you do?

Yesterday we covered the cost of an ungoverned moment, how one lapse in...
