Toni asked Christopher Paolini:

Which book/author inspired you to write a sci-fi novel?

Christopher Paolini It was more of a collection of books and authors. I was a big fan of Asimov's robot books, back in the day. It's been a long time since I've read them. However, I'd say that Dune, Hyperion, and Starship Troopers are all equally important in terms of inspiration.
