Science Fiction Legends

Who or what are science fiction legends?

They are the leaders, the trail blazers in a genre that continues to grow and expand through the generations.

This web site tries to honour them once they have departed this realm and provides an insight into their work, thinking and whatever else is of interest to those who enjoy their works and thoughts.

Live long and prosper!

Robert Jordan has gone! Big gaps in future content!

Robert Jordan is dead and I will never finish the "Wheel of Time". Oh Robert could you not have finished it for us all! What a loss. Robert passed away on September 16th aged 59.

He had fought hard against the heart condition cardiac amyloidosis.

He name was really James Oliver Rigney, Jr. and he also wrote under the name Reagan O’Neal. O’Neal wrote the “Fallon” series of stories.

Another legend!

"Oh Author of the inner mind we salute you and envy the tales heaven will be privileged to hear!" - Vale Robert Jordan.

Asimov Starts The Wiki

Isaac Asimov I suspect is a SciFi Legend and I doubt many will criticise that selection. I have made an initial entry in the SciFi Wiki and will update as my research and time permits. What a prolific author! I actually have collected quite a few of his works of his science fiction period and other areas as well.

Where Does One Start

Well its time to get started. The first question is I suppose who is a Sci Fi legend and what makes them one? There are a number of factors that could be considered.

  • The longevity of their published works
  • The extent and volume of their work
  • The influence their work has had upon the society in which the work had initially been exposed and to subsequent cultures
  • The interest in their work by other media forms such as film and television or even other authors
  • The recognition they have received through awards of various kinds from their peers or their readers or viewers.

    • Anchor's Away!

    I have always wanted to examine science fiction in more detail than my time has ever permitted and now I have created this space to do so. I have enjoyed reading and collecting science fiction and fantasy novels for most of my 50+ years and I have tried to encourage my offspring to have a similar passion. I have had some success though it seems more in the fantasy genre than in core material. I think there are reasons for this and I will comment about that in a later post.
