"I'll never forget this moment as long as I live because it changed my life. I was sitting on the couch next to my wife and I finished the book and set it down and said, "Bleck! That was one of the most horrible sci-fi books I've ever read. Sci-fi nowadays is all space opera with no basis in science and is really fantasy. It's crap. It's just crap." My wife looked at me and said, "Well, if you think you can do better go write one yourself."
