about me

I am an American science fiction writer of Bangladeshi origin. I grew up in Austria and moved to the United States at the age of 18, where I studied electrical engineering and pursued a career in computer software. A keen follower of science and an avid reader of science fiction since childhood, I now write my own sci-fi stories as a hobby. I self-published Dark Matter, my first novel, in 2008. The book has since gone on to receive critical acclaim and wide reader support.

Dark Matter

S.W. Ahmed

A thrilling sci-fi adventure story about a human who uncovers a gigantic alien conspiracy threatening to destroy the entire galaxy.


What if dark matter, the invisible substance that constitutes the bulk of all matter in the universe, actually is nothing more than ordinary matter purposely hidden from our view? What if we are only allowed to see a small fraction of the stars in our galaxy, because the vast majority of star systems are teeming with aliens who wish to remain unseen? Marc Zemin, a brilliant student of astrophysics, is the first human to ever stumble upon this startling secret, when his experiments with wormhole travel cause aliens to land on Earth and whisk him away into space. To his astonishment, the aliens want his help in fighting a colossal galactic war that is spiraling out of control. But as he struggles to survive from battle to battle across the farthest reaches of the galaxy, he begins to uncover a horrifying conspiracy at play, striving to keep the warring civilizations in continuous conflict with each other. A desperate race against time ensues, as he and a handful of newfound alien friends try to stop the war and confront this mysterious, powerful force bent on destroying all life in the galaxy.
