Good Sci-Fi books
Archangel_Lucifer:
Who has some good books they can reccomend for me?
Good Sci-Fi books I have read recently and reccomend:
Commonwealth saga [Peter F Hamilton] -- Absolutely freakin brilliant! 'Nuff said.
Saga of seven suns [Kevin J Anderson] -- Good solid Sci-fi, a bit simplistic and some characters seem to have weird motivations.
Revelation space series [Alastair Reynolds] -- Great hardcore sci-fi. Difficult to get into at first and ending leaves a bit to be desired. Hopefully more books in the same universe will be forthcoming.
Dread empire's fall [Walter john williams] -- What would happen if in the future both sides of an interstellar war were a pack of incompetent overbred aristocrats? It makes me choke with contempt sometimes but I was unable to put it down.
Accelerando --- The defining book about technological singularity. Amazing.
Honor series [David Weber] -- Nice tactical like space warfare books.
"The grand tour" [Ben Bova] -- You WILL read this. The man is freaking prescient. The best near future novels I have ever read.
thestowell:
Would you perhaps try some Asimov?
Archangel_Lucifer:
Oh yes read most of his works a while ago. I prefer more modern books in general.
Jimmy the Squid:
Stranger in a Strange Land is a really good one but I can't remember who the author is...
Will:
I remember reading a book several years ago by Timothy Zahn that was excellent...I think it was The Icarus Hunt, if my Amazon search was correct. I'd recommend it.
I'm really not big on Sci-Fi, but I remember thinking this book was great...and I always loved the Star Wars books he wrote.
