Luck in the Shadows - Lynn Flewelling. First in the nightrunner series. Thieves, spies, war, magic. A good series and good book to start it off with, BUT the homosexual relationship of the 2 main characters left me without a frame of reference, and detracted from my enjoyment of what would...

A great series, I've devoured each book with glee. Killing off main characters was a shock at first but this adds to the journey of discovery when reading the series,so fresh, a rare gem infact. Added to the intrigues between the 2 families, plus the internal struggles that abound, you have...

Jirel of Joiry - Catherine Lucille Moore J's are hard, have not read this book but it's the sort of stuff I pick up in second hand book shops and read on the rig when bored. Pulp fantasy, simple literary fun, eg I am browsing through Conan the Renegade now. As long as you take books like...

It's a long post but wade through it if you want to scratch the surface of where this book is coming from. I have not read the book BUT,,,,,,,,, I did some research into it as a friend finished it and we were discussing the validity of Brown's premises. A few of the topics On my...

:D Yep it was the maghooks in the end that got me. When I read it I thought NO insert expletive WAY. The rest I could take as fantasy action, but that maghook scene. *cough* nah!

I've read Contest (1996) Ice Station (1998) Temple (1999) Area 7 (2001) OK for a fast read but Area 7 pissed me off so much I doubt I'll read scarecrow. Unless I find it some where and I am desparate for something to read. All Rielly does is create a situation with a fantastical (is...

Isle of the dead (Amazon synopsis) Sounds interesting.

House Atriedes - Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. First of 3 Prelude to Dune series Set before 'Dune', this prequel details the Leto Atriedes rises to power and his struggles with House Harkonan and Corrino. A very good book which tells us where the main characters from Dune came...

Just finished this 30 minutes ago. General comment about me. I purely read for relaxtion and to pass the time at work when it's slack:) . Things I look for in a book are a fast pace and believable characters within the context of the novel. I mainly read scifi, fantasy and thrillers...

Why not write a brief comment about the book, theme, good / bad etc. 1 or 2 sentances only. The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams . Pretty much standard fantasy. Good vs Evil. A mad king. A princess, magic, a young kitchen boy (read future hero) that goes on a journey of self discovery as...

That answers my question, thanks

Keep seeing these books on ebay every so often. Has anyone read them, are they any good.?

S T U V W X War of the Worlds - HG Wells For U The Urth of the New Sun - Gene Wolfe (had to do a search though) Edit: Beat me to it with the Oponn :)

couldn't agree more, i've had to re-read the series prior to the last book because I couldn't remeber what had happened. I guess he needs some extra cash?

Steven Erikson, excellent Robin Hobb, not bad George Martin, excellent China Miéville, too wierd for me Terry Pratchett read a loy of his stuff when I was younger and really enjoyed it. Might pick up a copy again of his later books. Ursula (K) le Guin. Earthsea was great Elizabeth Moon...

I am sorry to hear this. As I said getting into it is a hard slog but you've done the hard work. Don't give up. Official Dune site Looks like 2 new books in the series. You might say money grabbing, but the more Dune the better IMO :D

Quest For Lost Heroes - David Gemmel from his Drenai series. Any Drenai tale by Gemmel is a great read

Whoops, my mistake I re-read the first post. Errr Oponn, not sure where A Fortress of Grey Ice - JV Jones fits after J :confused:

K is a difficult one . Kiln People by David Brin Is Terry Prachet real scifi. More fantasy IMO.

I Robot : Asimov
