My then-manager told me I’d be the screenwriter of Terminator 3, only to take it back five days later. To this day I have no idea whether he was shining me on or not, as he died two years later.

Reading Neil’s blog reminds me of many great SF classics I’ve read in the past. Thinking maybe its time to revisit one or two of these. There is so much awesome work out there from this genre.

I’ve always loved books and reading, one of lifes great pleasures. This genre has always been close to my heart, I became an avid reader at an early age. A teacher at my elementary school decided to read the Hobbit to us and even at only 8 years old, I was captivated. This Tolkein classic still is one of my favorite reads. I progressed quickly through all the SF and fantasy classics, amazing stories all of them. I was and still am in awe of writing from pure imagination, this is true talent. The Lost Warrior is a classic adventure story above all else and I loved it. Fear Nought feels it a privilege to be able to bring this wonderful story to all of you. Get yourself a copy, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it and eagerly await the next book in the trilogy.

I often tell my students that people with intellectual curiosity will not only do better in college, they’ll enjoy it more. I was a huge SF and fantasy fan growing up. I can thank my mom for that. She saw me watching a Star Trek rerun around age 7 and pressed a copy of Ray Bradbury’s S is for Space into my hands. That first story, “Chrysalis”–man, it just launched my brain. From there it was Star Wars, J. R. R. Tolkien, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Larry Niven, Stephen Donaldson, Robert J. Sawyer…all part of the life of my mind to this day.
