The Nightsdawn Trilogy - Peter F Hamilton

David Eddings has quite a few very good series

 

[nath]

Spares -- Michael Marshall Smith

Fantastic stuff. One of Us is also good, by the same author.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

The Rama series by Clarke
The Demon Princes series by Jack Vance
The Culture books by Iain Banks

 

[whipped]

Anything by Greg Bear.

Especially Eon, Eternity, The Forge of God and Anvil of Stars.

 

[ECA]

The Mars series is good.

Red Mars
Green Mars
Blue Mars.

Theres an order cant remember it though :-] check amazon.

 

[leggy]

I thought red mars was a bit dull.

I'd go for the Greg Bear/I.M. Banks options mehself.

Iain Banks, John Brunner, Phil K Dick

Kim Stanley Robinsons' Mars Trilogy is brilliant; a serious accurate story about ecology, environment, terraforming, politics, sociology and economics.

The Nightsdawn Trilogy by Peter F Hamilton has big a space battles and the dead returning to possess the living.

Iain M Banks is just cool

Stephen Baxter rights some good stuff about space exploration.

David Weber's Honour Harrington Books are about spaceships blowing the shit out of each other.

Assimov, Heinlein, Clarke and Wells are classic authors that should be read by everyone as should Philip K Dick, Ursa le guin Michael Moorcock

Frank Herbert Dune series is about messiahs and sand

William Gibson is a Cyber prophet and is great but somehow out of date already


hmm... thats just the books lying about my pc desk and I can't be arsed checking the shevles. Sci-fi is actually really vague as a description, what aspect are you interested in?

wow, another person who's heard of them!

 

[Testin da Cable]

I've read almost everything Vance has done. The man's powers of simple, yet uber vivid discriptions are second to none

 

[plightstar]

I've heard the Amtrak Wars series is good, my mates got all of them. Personally I would say the X-wing series, or the Halo series even though theres only 2 books at the moment.

 

[mr.Blacky]

David Brin - the uplift war. 6 books, all good.
M.K. Wren - the Phoenix Legacy, post mad-max era with space battles.

How about 'The Hitch Hiker's Guide to The Galaxy - A trilogy in Five Parts'. Very strange and vastly superior to the tv series.

I've been reading the novels off of this site . The free library has a few good authors and its fun to while away the hours.

Prefer paper to VDU but beggars cant be choosers

 

[Tenko]

Thanks Munkey!

Just downloaded and read 1632 myself today, probably gonna go pick up the sequel from Waterstones tommorrow.

 

[mr.Blacky]

Yep thx hehe I might have to look at the few english book stores in Amsterdam to find a sequel now.

 

[Tenko]

And today I've read the Apocolypse Troll by David Weber. That really is a nice website munkey.

Free books are good
