Science Fiction: A -Z (game)

Since we seem to have some sci-fi/fantasy fans and we've done A to Z games covering general fiction, how about A to Z for sci-Fi only?

Authors or titles.

I'll start with:
A for Douglas Adams - wrote the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
 
B is for Ben Bova - an amazing author who writes oif our colonisation of the solar system
 
Hocus Pocus, by Kurt Vonnegut.

Kaleidoscopic weirdness from one of the giants of 20th Century American writing. Vonnegut is one of the few writers who still draws me to the SF genre. (Well, not any more, sadly, as Timequake is likely to be his literal as well as literary swansong.)

K is for Stephen King. Not widely aknowledged as a Sci Fi writer but the books written under the Richard Bachman pseudonym fall into that category.

L for Lord of the Rings. I hear theres even a book based on that movie with the crappy ending :D
 
P for Piers anthony writer of the Xanth series, the Blue adept series and the Incarnation of immortality series amongst many others.

Q

Okay, I'll admit that I cheated for this one and looked it up on SciFan :eek:

Qeng Ho - series by Vernor Vinge

BTW, never read anything by Vinge, but have heard good things. Anyone read this series or anything else by him?
 
Fancy cheating, what is the world coming to. I just look on the book shelves above my head.

R is for Ray Bradbury ptobably best known for Fahrenheit 451. Mind you more like a horror story than Sci Fi, all that book burning.
