Andy Lloyd is a chemistry graduate and a Lecturer in Nursing at the University of Gloucestershire, England. He has had a deep interest in astronomy and astrophysics since childhood, and has extensively researched the subject of Planet X for over 20 years. His first popular non-fiction title, Dark Star: The Planet X Evidence, explored the science and myth associated with Planet X. Drawing upon the concepts of Nemesis and Nibiru, he related these 20th Century conceptualizations of Planet X to the strange new phenomena known as brown dwarfs. Dark Star was followed by two science fiction novels, Ezekiel One and The Followers of Horus. These fictional works amalgamated conspiracy theories with speculative scientific concepts. Andy Lloyd runs several Planet X-related websites and online forums, and maintains a monthly blog of Dark Star-related news. He has spoken at conferences in the UK and Italy, and has been guest speaker on many radio shows, including 'Coast-to-Coast A.M.' with George Noory, and with 'Project Camelot'.
