About this author

edit data

Scott Seldon lives in Colorado with his wife and family in a house brimming with old and new computers. He is a student of technology, history, anthropology, languages, and cosmology.

He turned his creativity to science fiction in his teens and has never looked back.

In his writing, Scott strives to create rich worlds and characters. Although his stories take place in the future, he often looks to the past to give his stories a solid background. He's is more likely to watch Captain Blood than Star Wars to find inspiration on the feel of a story. He reads the latest titles by Jack M...more

Star Trek At The Movies

With this new film now out and through its opening weekend, I thought it might be fun to see how it stacked up to its predecessors. The numbers tell an interesting story.

First, any comparison over such a span of time cannot be done by just comparing the total dollars. The new movies always win so it is an unfair comparison. Fortunately the best site for finding a movie's stats, Box Office Mojo,... Read more of this blog post »

This is the pinnacle of Asimov's trilogy. The best of the three. In the first story we have the Mule's search for the Second Foundation. In the second, and longest of the original Foundation stories, we have the Foundation's search. This is Asimov at...more

The two stories in this book really fit with the title. General Bel Riose of the Empire sets out to find and conquer the Foundation. What stops him is not surprising in the end and seems very natural, but the tension in the story before that is palpa...more

Scott Seldon rated a book 5 of 5 stars Foundation (Foundation, #1) by Isaac Asimov read in August, 2012	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
While there are a few things that now seem dated, Asimov's classic really holds up. This is a must read for all die-hard space opera fans. Asimov's wit and scientific mind show through. You have to turn the page to find out what happens next.
