Beraud Rock is the pen name of Peter Barrett, an Australian author and designer exploring sentience, bureaucracy, and terror among the stars.
Author Overview
Beraud Rock crafts cinematic science fiction exploring evolution, sentience, and control. His writing examines the fragile boundary between human instinct and technological ambition, set against vast alien landscapes and the ghosts of failed systems.
Through The Alloy Series, Rock explores the power of evolution—biological and social—as the ultimate intelligence, capable of humbling even the most advanced machines.
Powder For Drying Wounds THE TRIBE — Second Edition is Now Live
I’m pleased to announce the release of the Second Edition of The Tribe, Book One of the Alloy Trilogy.
This edition includes newly structured early chapters, refined prose, improved pacing, and a clearer emotional through-line for Ye-Min — the heart of the series. It’s the same story, shaped more cleanly for new readers and long-time supporters.
If you’re exploring the Alloy Universe for the first time, welcome.
If you’ve been following since the beginning, thank you.
Evolution decides which gods will rust.
