Sean has always liked reading and watching science fiction. It feels wonderful seeing the vast universe and all the crazy alien life forms and the thrill of the unknown. So he decided his books would capture that sense of wonder, and he would be as creative as possible in writing something different, unique, and unexpected. He doesn't like to write the stories everyone has heard over and over again. He wants you to think "Wow, I never thought that was possible!" when reading his books.

He has a BA in American Multicultural Studies and speaks Chinese and English as well as a smattering of Spanish and Burmese. This helps him flesh out alien cultures in his work so that they are unique and have believable motivations and backstories.

Creativity

I think it's important to be creative.

I like science fiction because it examines new frontiers.

So when I write science fiction, I want to capture the same sense of wonder I felt when watching Stargate. Spoiler alert!

Spoiler alert! Jaffa kree!

Wait, if you haven't watched Stargate yet, go and watch Stargate SG-1!

I remember seeing how the Asgardians were seen as Asgardian gods, and it was interesting Read more of this blog post »

This book was average.

I bought this book in 2016. It looks like it was unpublished and republished.

The book had an intriguing premise and blurb, but sadly, the pacing was too fast. Each chapter was 2-3 pages long, and the extremely short chapters to

Supercarrier by Scott Bartlett
"There's something about this story that just doesn't sit right with me. I'm not sure the author knows that much about the military or if he/she does, then it's not showing in this book. It starts off with a young guy being assigned to the Providence," Read more of this review »

As I finished reading this book, I couldn’t stop smiling. I’m sad that the book is over, and I can’t wait for book 9.

The story was very bland. There was no tension. In the beginning of the story, the events leading up to the action was lackluster.

This was a really good conclusion to Alien Volume 1: Thaw.

The story takes place years after the events of Volume 1, and involves characters from before, so it's not a brand new story. If you're looking for continuity, you'll get that here.
