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.

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 »

I like this book. The story is progressing at a reasonable pace, although the pacing could've been a bit faster. The author also expands upon the worldbuilding, so this a sword and sorcery series, not just a fantasy series.

This Book is Okay

This book is okay. It’s a little better than average. Characters say, “I mean” too much after saying words or phrases sometimes.

The fight scenes are good and the characters are decent, but the plot is average. I will read book 5 next

I liked this book a lot. I gave book 4 a four-star rating because it was better than average but not great.

The characters still need work, and the main character does think a little too much, but the plot progressed at a good pace. I like the worldbu

This is my favorite mech series of all time.

The main character has learned and grown throughout the six books in the series thus far, and I can't wait for book 7.

Better than Pacific Rim

This is my favorite mech series of all time. I like the Pacific Rim movies, but the movie novelization was bad. This was written a lot better than the Pacific Rim novelization.

Never a Boring Moment

This author writes battles very well. Although this is the third book in this series, the story and characters don’t feel repetitive.
