Cherokee author Daniel H. Wilson brings a fresh perspective to science fiction with his upcoming novel "Hole in the Sky," set to release on October 7th. In an exclusive interview on Native Bidaské, Wilson discusses his unique approach to storytelling that blends cutting-edge science, Indigenous wisdom, and deeply human narratives.
A robotics PhD turned bestselling author, Wilson weaves his Cherokee heritage and scientific background into a compelling story set in Oklahoma's Spiral Mounds. The novel follows three characters confronting a mysterious alien entity, exploring themes of survival, technological understanding, and cultural resilience.
Fans can catch Wilson's book talks at the University of Tulsa on October 7th and the Tahlequah library in the following days. "Hole in the Sky" will be available in bookstores and online retailers nationwide.

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
