Line 1: {{~~trope~~creator}} {{Needs Image}} '''Ryk E. Spoor''' is an American science fiction and fantasy writer. His major universes are: * A [[The Multiverse\|multiverse]] that includes the [[~~Jason Wood (Literature)\|~~Jason Wood]] series (set in present-day Earth) and ''Phoenix Rising'' (set in the magical universe-equivalent of Earth, due for release in November 2012). There are also several more unpublished novels in this multiverse; some can be found in serialized form in his Paradigms Lost forum on Baen's Bar. * The ''Boundary'' series, co-written with [[Eric Flint]]: ''Boundary'', ''Threshold'', and ''Portal'' (upcoming, early 2013). Discovery of alien archaeological artifacts drives a mission to Mars. * ''Grand Central Arena''. The good news: FTL travel is possible. The bad news: You don't get to travel through interstellar space, you get to enter the Arena and play by the [[Precursors]]' rules. A sequel, ''Spheres of Influence'', is under contract and likely to be published somewhere in 2013. [[One of Us\|Spoor is also well-known on Usenet]] groups such as rec.arts.sf.written and rec.arts.anime.misc as "Sea Wasp". [http://grandcentralarena.com/ His web site], [http://seawasp.livejournal.com/ his LiveJournal]. Some of his stories are freely available [https://web.archive.org/web/20111224132229/http://www.webscription.net/s-98-ryk-spoor.aspx?CategoryFilterID=1&ManufacturerFilterID=0& at the Baen Free Library] or serialized on his blog. {{creatorworks\|\|written}} ~~----~~ * [[~~Jason Wood (Literature)\|~~Jason Wood]] series▼ ~~=== Works by Ryk E.

They didn't fall for it. * [[Meaningful Rename]]: One of the main characters in ''Phoenix Reborn'' comes from a culture where a person is given one name when they are born, and chooses a second name that has some personal significance when they become an adult.
