I personally recommend Colin Forbes very, very highly, specifically his series of books involving the SIS, with main character Tweed. Extremely, extremely riveting.
Alexandria by Lindsey Davis
Saga of Seven Suns, Book 4.
Thomas Covenant series... 'Fatal Revenant'. It's prolonged.
That was old news...Quote:

Great, more of Linden? :rolleyes:
I hate that Linden is now the protagonist. The series is known as "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant". It should be about Thomas Covenant. If I buy a book about C#, I don't want to read about PHP. The book has C# in the title. Don't try to twist it around to fit your writing block. :mad:
(I'll read it anyways because once you invest time in a series, you have to go on)

Jack Vance is a genius, for any of you that like Science Fiction or Fantasy and haven't read a Jack Vance Book, well you should.
Fantasy -
Any of the Dying Earth Series but particularly 'Eyes of the Overworld' or 'Cugel's Saga'
Or The Lyonesse series is particularly good
Sci Fi -
The Demon Prince Series
The Planet of Adventure Series
The Alastor Series
"The Truth" - Terry Pratchett.
-ing brilliant.
Is that the one where he goes up against those skeletal beings with a pair of missile launchers on their shoulders? I hated those things. Hope he has a plasma gun, as he could just blast the missiles.Quote:

Good to be diverse.
