I would like to hear more about these. I have never heard about these and without an author listed.... stark and jag google search shows things in swedish...
anyway.
Some more Recommendations from me
Enders Game.. if you've never read it your missing out.
A fire upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. I'm almost finished with it. Great Hard Scifi, Complex.
Hmm, let me think. which Heinlein should I suggest today.. "The Door Into Summer" is a cool perspective into what heinlein thought the year 2000 would look like.. written in the 60s.
"Marsbound" by Joe Haldeman. gets mixed reviews, but its good scifi. Teen Girl Main character.
"Way Station" by Clifford D. Simak, this was a fun novel about an alien waystation on earth, with alot of Genuine surprises and humanity showing through "the badge" go read the description about this one now. it's a fun read.
"childhoods end" by Clark. This Is required reading for Scifi Fans, Clarks second most popular book, almost Tied with Rama but beating it, only beat out by 2001, and that's mainly because 2001 was a Movie, and people buy movie books more. whats it about? without ruining it, think the first few minutes of Independence day, or "V". they got that scene from this book. No lizards of slimy aliens though, no president flying fighter jets. Infact.. they are kinda Nice.. but they do have a purpose. (and its not to steal our water and have a nice human steak)
Suggestion Overload yet?
Well One More cant Hurt..
Lets see. ive Hit Military scifi, Space Opera, Time Travel, Mars, Quirky/Alien, First Contact. what am I missing?
Pioneer Scifi.. infact one of my favorite sub genres, not enough of it though
Wildside by Steven Gould. boy finds a tunnel to an alternate dimension, an Earth without humans. what does he do? trys to make some coin of course. gets him and his friends into a ton of trouble with a spook. great interesting read. Lots of Pilot Jargon, Not too many books go into this much detail about light aircraft, I liked it.
