L.E. Modesitt, Jr. I've read one of his sci-fi, and one of his fantasy-including-sci-fi novels - but I believe he writes regular fantasy too. Cannot stand!! There so much wrong with the writing, including stupid place names based on actual place names but with extra 'y's, and tortuous writing which is trying so hard not to be racist or homophobic...
But the worst aspect is the meticulous detailing of every meal (as if it were a travel book with special interest in cuisine) and including description of washing the dishes afterwards. And placing the cup on the draining board to dry. It beggars belief!
Does anyone know what his fantasy is like? I shudder to think, and I ain't gonna give him a third chance. (Thankfully I'd only borrowed the books of his I read, so I could return them at no cost to me and with an opportunity to chastise the lender - who had seemingly given them to me as a kind of prank!)
