About this author

Graduated from King's College London longer ago than seems possible, and went on to work in kid's TV for over 10 years making promos for Disney and Cartoon Network. Perhaps as an antidote he writes gritty, epic science fiction; forever his first love.

Surviving his ongoing obsession with fast motorbikes and flirtation with the underrated virtual worlds of videogames, he somehow found time to put to paper his long-gestating scifi epic. Influenced by the great space opera of Peter F Hamilton and Yokinobu Hoshino, as well as a lifetime of digesting the classics of Greg Bear and Arthur C Clarke, he lives and breathes SciFi in all its forms.

He lives in London with his awesome cat.

" Review coming. Very, very good though. Especially considering this is a debut science fiction novel. Not easy to pull off. Writing skills are solid and the story is wonderful. "
Particle Horizon by Selso Xisto
" I am what you might call a "lapsed sci-fi" fan. In high school, my shelves were full of Asimov and David Brin, Nancy Kress and Frederik Pohl, Stanislaw Lem and every issue of Science Fiction Age ever published. But something happened along the lin... " Read more of this review »

Robopocalypse
by Daniel H. Wilson (Goodreads Author)
Well-written and packed full of great ideas but I couldn't escape the feeling I was missing half the stories that could've been told within such an interesting setup. I feel like it's the kind of story that needed a bit more room to breathe; the war...more

" Loved it. I'm no reviewer and for that I apologise. The twists and turns. The way Selso dives into your mind and tears chunk off it with his exciting high-energy scenes interspersed with touching, human moments in the midst of apocalyptic chaos.

Monica Rodriguez Found your interview at Wayward Things, and your description of your book made me put it on my "to read" list! I'm not much of a sci-fi reader, either (tho I am a sci-fi watcher, go figure), but it sounded too good to pass up.
I have a Nook, though, so I suppose it's not available right now except on the Kindle, while it's free?

Rai Hi Selso, thanks for your friendship here on Goodreads! Cute line about your cat. My kitties pretty much see me as their servant, lol!

Cheers,
