About the author

Ed Scriver

I write fantasy and science fiction, wrestling intellectual and inspiring themes, even when I write comic fantasy.

I started my professional writing career in my forties and do not intend to stop until I die, they take my pen away and seal my grave.

When not writing, I am found plugged in, coding. I am either programming AI that will become self-aware and hellbent on world domination or making games involving tinkering trolls.

Some of my favourite stories include the Sword of Truth series, the Discworld books, Doctor Who and Stargate. I am a huge fan of Doctor Who: I have seen or heard every episode, even the old black and white episodes that have been lost. My favourite author is Ayn Rand. If you like Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, I think you will like my work too.

The most important rule there is, the Wizard’s Sixth Rule: the only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason. The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists, what is, is and from this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the foundation from which life is embraced.Terry Goodkind, The Sword of Truth
