Leadership Beyond the Stars: A Conversation with Christopher Loric
Christopher’s book SESG Explorer is not your typical space opera. It's a gripping narrative about leadership, courage, diplomacy, and the messy human experience of facing the ultimate unknown: first contact with alien life. Drawing from his 28 years of military experience, including service with the Navy, Marines, and Air Force and now reflections on the emerging Space Force, Christopher crafts a story grounded in realism and heart.
During our conversation, Christopher shared that the idea for SESG Explorer first sparked during his 2006 deployment to Iraq, when he observed firsthand the complex cooperation between military branches. He later wove these real-world dynamics into his futuristic tale, updating the book after his retirement to reflect the creation of the Space Force and evolving global dynamics.
One of the most compelling aspects of SESG Explorer is how Christopher portrays the alien Kamorrigans—not as purely evil or benevolent beings, but as flawed, complicated entities, much like humans. This nuance invites readers to grapple with moral dilemmas, political tensions, and the balance between diplomacy and war—topics that are strikingly relevant today.
Christopher also offered a sneak peek into the next installment of the trilogy, Minerva, in which humanity wrestles with whether to remain isolated or expand into the galaxy. Meanwhile, multiple missions run parallel: establishing colonies, building alliances, and facing off against unforeseen threats.
When asked what advice he would give to young dreamers inspired by space exploration, Christopher emphasized: "Follow what you love. Whether it's science, diplomacy, leadership, or technology, space needs all of it." He also passionately advocated for “space diplomacy” to prevent future conflicts beyond Earth.
And for those wondering, yes, Christopher believes in the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The universe’s vastness leaves room for endless possibilities, and he approaches this belief through a lens of both science and faith.
Christopher is working hard to release Minerva, complete the trilogy's final book, and even dabble in a sci-fi romance novel. There's no slowing down for this imaginative storyteller!
