"When we think of fantasy and science fiction novels, one of the first things
that probably comes to mind is the trope of the young chosen one or the
adolescent hero just hearing the call to go on a dangerous journey. It’s the
classic hero’s journey of SFF. But science fiction and fantasy don’t have to
center only young people. Older adults can answer the call to adventure just as
easily as the younger ones. And in these 10 novels, it’s middle-aged
protagonists that take center stage. These middle-aged protagonists in SFF go
on epic adventures, take on dangerous quests, and prove that even heroes get
better with age.
From stories of alien invasions to swashbuckling pirates, these 10 SFF novels
featuring middle-aged protagonists are a reminder that even the best
adventures can happen later in life. You’re never too old to go on an
adventure. It’s never too late to start over. And life just gets better with a
little experience under your utility belt. So set out for the horizon with
these middle-aged protagonists in SFF for the adventure of a lifetime and
rediscover the hero’s journey in a whole new way."
