![]() ![]() The sci-fi setting of “To Sleep” is a departure from the fantasy world of “Eragon,” but for Paolini, the change of genre wasn’t that much of a leap. Sequels and a movie followed, as well as a short story collection in 2019. The first novel of the four-volume “Inheritance Cycle” - which he began writing at age 15 and originally self-published with the help of his parents in 2002 - quickly became a bestseller. It is also the first novel that Paolini has published outside of the “Eragon” universe. Paolini will be discussing “To Sleep in a Sea of Stars” with those readers during a virtual, COVID-19-era book tour - which includes an event later this month hosted by The King’s English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, where he will appear with Utah author Brandon Sanderson. “So that’s a long time to have a story live in your head.”īut soon, that story will be living in the heads of readers, as well. “I’ve been working on this book for over seven years, and I got the idea for it back in 2006, 2007,” he explains. Though Paolini has published four novels in the “Inheritance Cycle” series, as well as a short story collection last year, he admits he is still “a little nervous” about his new book being published. “It’s a big epic story full of alien planets, heartache, spaceships, adventure and then the occasional tentacle - as one has to have in science fiction,” Paolini jokes. While Paolini’s bestselling “Inheritance Cycle” was set in a world of swords, magic, and - of course - dragons, the setting of “To Sleep” is quite different. ![]() The “Eragon” author is turning from fantasy to science fiction in his new novel, “To Sleep in a Sea of Stars,” out Sept.
