Sean O'Brien is an educator and writer from Southern California. He is married and has two children along with an ever-growing number of animals. He was named Educator of the Year by the California League of High Schools and has been a head varsity football coach, a college football player, baseball umpire, television broadcaster, and Gilbert and Sullivan singer (though, he says, not a good one).
"""I'm a fan of this author and I am fan of this series. If you like sci-fi like Alien, Firefly and the Expanse, about hardworking, regular folk trying to eke out a living amongst the dangerous cosmos, look no farther than Sean O'Brien's Beltrunner saga. What really struck me the most about Sean's writing style is the excellent character development. I especially enjoyed the relationship between the gritty miner and his faithful artificial companion. I'm already looking forward to the next installment."" -- Bestselling Author, Jack Castle ---- ""Beltalowdas rejoice! Expansive space opera rocks the belt with O'Brien's latest."" -- Sheldon Teitelbaum, editor and journalist. ---- ""Fans of The Expanse and other hard sci-fi novels will find a lot to like in this action packed quest to discover the origins of an ancient artifact. Sean O'Brien builds a captivating world populated with working class characters thrust into a confrontation with a mega-corporation. Definitely recommended."" -- Michael Prelee"
