F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2007.10.31 08:23:00 - [5] Note: This belongs in OOP. I would argue against anything that involves Michael Crichton in sci-fi. But the rest of your list is excellent. I would add, and am amazingly surprised that it lacks: Hamilton's Night's Dawn and later works. Plus Reynold's Revelation Space. Then there's Simmons' Ilium and Olympos. I also don't know what you mean by Heinlein's Robot Series. I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.

Dirk Magnum Red Light Enterprises Eastern Star Federation	Posted - 2007.10.31 09:14:00 - [22] The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. Friggin mind-blowingly great writing throughout its very necessary and justifiable meandering of settings and characters. You'll probably say out loud "NO ***** WAY" as the events in the last chapter unfold. p.s. lol@filter on Philip K. **.
Nadja Markov SteelVipers YouWhat	Posted - 2007.10.31 09:15:00 - [23] I suggest: Perry Rhodan Saga Go for the weekly books - they`re only at issue 2410 :) That should keep you busy for a year or two ;)

Xanos Blackpaw Amarr The Firestorm Elite	Posted - 2007.10.31 09:31:00 - [25] David Weber - Empire from the ashes If you want big ass space ships look here. Dahak, hull number 172291 anyone? Playing minmatar is "like going down a flight of stairs in a office chair firing an Uzi".
Tradelade	Posted - 2007.10.31 09:33:00 - [26] Vernor Vinge: A Fire Upon the Deep --//-- : A Deepness in the Sky both are quite a lot better than The Peace War and Marooned in Realtime (which two is what you are referring to with your nro 9) Definetly don't miss the previously mentioned books by Ian M Banks and Ender's. Hyperion series might be a bit too Deus ex Machina with the ending though.. Frederik Pohl: Gateway (you might want to check out the whole of Heechee series though), The Space Merchants and The Merchants' War, Plusman Robert Heinlein: Starship Troopers (if you can handle his pretty fascist views, you might want to check out some other of his works) Norman Spinrad: Deus Ex Harry Harrison: Stainless Steel Rat series - humoristic, better than the Bill series of his, IMHO. Arkady & Boris Strugatski: Stalker, Escape Attempt, The Kid from Hell and Definetly Maybe, Hard to Be God Walter M. Miller Jr: A Canticle for Leibowitz
HelloKitty ToYou	Posted - 2007.10.31 09:35:00 - [27] take out douglass adams teatime of the soul. its fiction, but not science fiction. add ray bradbury's the martian chronicles, marionettes inc., etc.
Zenpro Ler	Posted - 2007.10.31 09:43:00 - [28] Ken macleod - falls revoloution series - sci fi with a brit/political flavour

Plague Black 4S Corporation	Posted - 2007.10.31 10:01:00 - [31] Edited by: Plague Black on 31/10/2007 10:08:05 1) Arkady and Boris Strugatsky: Just about anything you can get your hands on. My favourite is "Hard to be a God". 2) Stanislav Lem: Fiasco 3) Frederik Pohl: Gateway (I cant believe you left this one out?!? Ah, you can't argue tastes. I know it's mentioned before me but I just need to say it again) 4) David Brin: Kil'n People Btw Richard Matheson wrote "I am legend". I loved it, very powerfull book.
AntonioBanderas Empirius Enigmus Navy Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.10.31 10:11:00 - [32] if anyone have any of these books in one of electronic formats, i'd be grateful if he would share. Contact me ingame please thank you in advance Ant

Vagilicious	Posted - 2007.10.31 10:30:00 - [36] Originally by: Lord Wamphyri I would heartily recommend Kevin J Anderson - The Saga of the Seven Suns. I can't wait for the final book to be released! Seconded! Also HG Wells, The Time Machine
Neutrino Sunset	Posted - 2007.10.31 10:32:00 - [37] Peter Hamilton 'The Reality Dysfunction' is the way better than 'The Neutronium Alchemist' and is the first book of that series anyway. Stephen Baxtor 'Ring' Greg Bear 'Anvil of Stars' 'The Wasp Factory by Iain M Banks and 'The Stand' by Stephen King aren't sci-fi. 'The Stand' is good though whereas 'The Wasp Factory' is drivel.
Mark Lucius Forbidden Lore	Posted - 2007.10.31 10:35:00 - [38] Originally by: duffmantt 1. Enders Game 2. ALL Warhammer 40k Novels, especially the Eisenhorn Trilogy and gaunts Ghosts Win. ---

EwokPoacher Nubs. D-L	Posted - 2007.10.31 10:57:00 - [41] E.E. "Doc" Smith - The Lensman Series Inspired aspects of Babylon 5: Psi Corps, Order vs Chaos; Humans kin to other aliens etc... The verbage is a bit dated, written in the 30's and 40's, but it is THE original space opera. The complete series of books, in internal sequence, consists of: 1. Triplanetary 2. First Lensman 3. Galactic Patrol 4. Gray Lensman 5. Second Stage Lensmen 6. Children of the Lens
Xetic Thrull	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:21:00 - [42] Edited by: Xetic Thrull on 31/10/2007 11:23:10 I would like to add "Slant" by Greg Bear "Singularity Sky" by Charles Stross Edited due to a spelling error. Tribbles on the keyboard again.
Koryvarn Amarr Liberty Rogues	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:28:00 - [43] 12. Roger Zelanzy: ...? Chronicles of Amber is what you're looking for (Nine Princes in Amber, Guns of Avalon, Sign of the Unicorn, Hand of Oberon, Courts of chaos). Ever wondered who Corwin of Amber was? Find out My reccomendations that aren't on this list: Joe Haldeman's Forever War. Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun.
Ter Fordal	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:29:00 - [44] Stanislaw Lem - The Futurological Congress, Solaris Stephen Baxter - Space, Time Aldous Huxley - Brave New World

Ithoriel Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:40:00 - [46] James Blish: "Cities in Flight" The technology looks a little dated now, not surprising since it's 70 or 80 years old, but the proposition is original as ever. More politics and personalities than spaceships and ray guns but well worth reading. A series that literally ends with a bang And "seconded" to anything by C J Cherryh Growing old is mandatory, growing up is entirely optional
zibelthurdos Archron Dusyfe Industries Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:50:00 - [47] Edited by: zibelthurdos on 31/10/2007 11:54:21 Edited by: zibelthurdos on 31/10/2007 11:52:39 20. H.G. Wells: The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds the time machine David Brin: uplift saga. ----------------------------------------------- Don't think of it as dying, Think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush
Maglorre	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:54:00 - [48] Add "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" for Heinlein. E.E. Doc Smith, Space Hounds of IPC (a book I read as a kid and I still remember it, would probably think it was crap now) And I can't believe nobody has yet mentioned the Stainless Steel Rat stories by Harry Harrison
Splagada Minmatar Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:56:00 - [49] its Roger Zelazny afaik ------ Proud Janitor of Tides of Silence

Scoti Caldari Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:57:00 - [51] Almost finished Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton. Not as good as Reality Dysfunction, still a great read. Brilliantly written "evil" aliens.
Janjan Jansen Amarr Primal Element Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:57:00 - [52] Jack Vance: Tschai (actually three books but very nice story)
Meltan Caldari The Empire Nation Knights Of Syndicate	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:58:00 - [53] Dan Abnett- Gaunts Ghost Series William Gibson-Neuromancer
Red Desire	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:59:00 - [54] Question of morality. Here in my country the SF era is kind of gone,no one is publishing SF books anymore. I am SF fan and I do own more then 350 SF books, which I gathered in 12 years (me and my bro) I see a lot of books which I didn't read and I feel the urge to get them. Now the question, is it horribly wrong to download them from the net, like for free? :(
Avon Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.10.31 11:59:00 - [55] Originally by: F'nog I would argue against anything that involves Michael Crichton in sci-fi. If anything, Crichton is one of the most sci-fi authors on the list. Many there are space-opera, and in some cases pure fantasy. The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur
brakespear Minmatar Wayward Brewing	Posted - 2007.10.31 12:05:00 - [56] Originally by: Ter Fordal Stephen Baxter - Space, Time Ack, yes, forgot these two on my earlier post - would add the last part of the Manifold trilogy 'Origin'(best of the trilogy imo) plus the accompanying volume of short stories 'Phase Space' -------------------------------------------------- brakespear - the lowest common denominator
Maestro Ulv Phaze-9	Posted - 2007.10.31 12:08:00 - [57] Only one Reynolds book in there!

Avon Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.10.31 12:31:00 - [62] Originally by: Awing atHoth Kevin J. Anderson : Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars I thought Kim Stanley Robinson wrote those? The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur

Saraith Narr Amarr Hedion University	Posted - 2007.10.31 17:41:00 - [64] Scott Haldeman: Forever War, Forever Free and Forever Peace. Three damn good sci-fi books that you can pickup in a single volume nowadays.
Spoon Thumb Paladin Imperium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.31 17:53:00 - [65] For Anime, I'd start another thread, but top of the list has to be Planetes by Makoto Yukimura for Sci-Fi space Manga/Anime for me Khaldari
Hari Sel'don Terminus Reborn The Terminus Mercatorian Hegemony	Posted - 2007.10.31 18:21:00 - [66] I of course had to stick my neck out in this thread and scream FOUNDATION but its already there (of course it is! ). I actually thought i was well read but now i see thats boll***s. Happy reading everyone!
000Hunter000 Gallente Magners Marauders	Posted - 2007.10.31 18:32:00 - [67] Didn't read through the entire thread but unless i'm mistaken i did not see Jack Vance in that list. If u haven't atleast read 'the Demon Princes' or 'Tschai' u sure missed out on something. CCP, let us pay the online shop with Direct Debit!!! Magners is now recruiting, evemail me or Dagazbo ingame.
Larg Kellein Caldari Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2007.10.31 18:39:00 - [68] Alastair Reynolds is a good suggestion, but take the whole Revelation Space series instead of only Chasm City. The Prefect is better anyway:-) Originally by: Roy Batty68 My software has wronged me!!! And it's immediately "sorry". Well, ok then. I suppose I'm not so upset at my software if it appologizes.
Jastra Gallente Core Domination Big Bang Quantum	Posted - 2007.10.31 18:41:00 - [69] Originally by: Zhao Xiaohui Edited by: Zhao Xiaohui on 31/10/2007 18:30:11 Sci-Fi Reading List - Please Contribute: Author: Book Title(s) 21. Kim Stanley Robinson: ...? 25. Unknown: I Am Legend 26. Unknown: Earth Abides 21 - Mars Trilogy and latterly a fairly good trilogy about near future global warming 25 - Richard Matheson ? 26 - George R Stewart Not sure if they came up but my vote is Greg Bears Eon series, pretty much my favourite still after all this time, and also Contact by Carl Sagan (sooo much better than the average movie)
Jastra Gallente Core Domination Big Bang Quantum	Posted - 2007.10.31 18:47:00 - [70] ooh ooh, also CJ Cherryh - Faded Sun Trilogy, and 40,000 in Gehenna - and pretty much all the other Sci Fi by the same author, but IMO those four are the best

Maltitol Gallente Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.31 18:47:00 - [71] Arthur C Clarke - Superiority A book about a race trying to beat their enemies through technology.. and more and more advanced technology... excellent read! Originally by: CCP Wrangler Well boohoo.
Yao Shiu	Posted - 2007.10.31 19:05:00 - [72] hmm... to add to the list, stuff by Stephen Baxter. Space, Time,Origin, and Phase Space are good. Tad Williams' Otherland Series David Brin's Sundiver, and the Uplift Series cant think of others you dont already have
Mark Lucius Forbidden Lore	Posted - 2007.10.31 19:12:00 - [73] Originally by: Ealiom And do yourself and everyone else a favour and get rid of anything that hack Orson Scott Tard writes. Horrible, soulless little fart of a book, was like reading your friends English creative writing story. You smile you say yeah its good but your really aching to wash its taint from your mind! I have to disagree. Enders game is really good and deserves full recognition. At the moment I am reading the third book in the series (Xenocide) and it is decent (like its predecessor Speaker of the dead). Both are a significant step down from the original though. ---
Frater Perdurabo Amarr The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria	Posted - 2007.10.31 19:26:00 - [74] As somebody (Avon?) said further up, a lot of this depends on what you consider to be sci-fi, a lot of it would strictly be considered space opera and fantasy works, but i read all that kind of stuff so here a few more. Michael Moorcock - Dancers At The End Of Time. Kurt Vonnegut - Sirens of Titan Cats Cradle Slaughterhouse 5 Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash The Diamond Age John Brunner - Stand On Zanzibar The Sheep Look Up Alfred Bester - The Starts My Destination The Demolished Man Michael Marshall Smith - Only Forward Spares Especially Bester and MM Smith, all 4 of those books are some of the best that i've ever read. Smith gets extra points for the quality use of cats in both books :D 3 points on the Op's list 1. Heinleins on there twice and he diddnt write a 'robot' series. Your probably thinking of Asimov. 2. I Am Legend was written by Richard Matheson. He also wrote The Shrinking Man, and im reading that one right now :P 3. Roger Zelazny wrote a lot of books, but sci-fi wise the one i remember most is Lord Of Light. Sig-> Good isnt it.
Paktieth Exanimo Inc Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.10.31 19:31:00 - [75] What no John Wyndham so far??? This may be the place to find the author of a set of books I enjoyed back in the late 1980s. They were in a setting that was very much like the 'Elite' PC game or the 'Travellar' RPG. The central character was a trader with cybernetic modifications and could drop into an enhanced 'combat mode' for a few seconds, complete with UV vision and fangs. There were at least three books in the series ( i think he was hunting some half forgotten ancient alien tech) but I cannot remember titles or author. They were nothing heavy but very enjoyable space opera. For something heavy and most enjoyable, can I recomend anything by Ian Watson. 'The embedding' and 'Miracle visitors' are both stupidly clever books and expertly written ( and Mssr Watson is a thoroughly nice chap in person too...) any help with the mystery would be much appreciated Pak
Won Swunglow Caldari Dead By Dawn	Posted - 2007.10.31 20:01:00 - [76] Arthur C. Clark: 3001 Arthur C. Clark: Rama series Gordon Rennie: Shadow Point Andy Hoare: Star of Damocles Black Library's: Horus Heresy Series Wheres Waldo... No wait...
Spoon Thumb Paladin Imperium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.31 20:15:00 - [77] john wyndam wrote day of the triffids no? Is that not sci-fi enough to fit the list? Khaldari
Spoon Thumb Paladin Imperium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.31 20:17:00 - [78] Also where do you draw the line with "sci-fi" ? many books might be set in space somewhat incidentally but have nothing to do with science, and more to do with psycology or human nature. Does that make them non sci-fi or does that make psycological thrillers fall into the sci-fi genre? Khaldari
Haradgrim Caldari The Wild Bunch INTERDICTION	Posted - 2007.10.31 20:20:00 - [79] Originally by: Dirk Magnum The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. Friggin mind-blowingly great writing throughout its very necessary and justifiable meandering of settings and characters.

Alfheim	Posted - 2007.10.31 23:44:00 - [91] 12. Roger Zelazny: Chronicles of Amber Series, Lord of Light I would say Amber is more fantasy based. But Lord of light is a great myth scifi crossover. Almost all of his stuff is great in the sense that it mixes fantasy with either modern post modern on scifi ideas. But Amber is very not scifi in my mind.
Alfheim	Posted - 2007.10.31 23:53:00 - [92] Ohh. and look into Elizabeth Moon She has good scifi tho it may have a lot to do with horses in some of it. Its got alot of good writing. She also has amazing Fantasy.
Luka Lavandi Caldari	Posted - 2007.11.01 00:29:00 - [93] Wondering why noone mentioned real sci-fi classics (can misstype the names) such as Robert Sheckley Clifford Simack And, if you didn't tried yet - read some russian sci-fi writers. As Nik Perumov, Oleg Divov, Sergey Lukyanenko (I suppose at least some of their books have to be translated to english. I.e. Lukyanenko wrote couple trilogies which are 10/10 for any reader. -------------------------------------------- Just flying to the nearest mall --------------------------------------------

Ron Hubbard - Battlefield Earth (120 million x better than the film) George Orwell - 1984 (obvious, but fantastic and disturbing, with a great twist - film does not do it justice) James Blish - Cities in Flight (defines the word "epic") M. John Harrison - Light Adam Roberts - Salt Frederik Pohl - Gateway Generally speaking, the Gollancz "SF Masterworks" Series is a very good place to start if you need some inspiration to read something. I've never been disappointed with any of the books on that list. * Yeah, that's right... it was me all along. And I would've gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those pesky kids

For a short story it made for very good reading, and just a few weeks ago I was in the middle of a move and came across a few pages I had printed out. All of a sudden I couldn't remember the name of the story or anything about it except I HAD to read it again. I finally found it, downloaded the .pdf and printed it out and re-read it. My dreams haven't been the same since :]

Fedaykin Zensunni	Posted - 2008.03.02 20:59:00 - [119] Every year Gardner Dozois releases a awesome short story anthology called "The Year's Best Science Fiction". I believe they are up to 24 now with the 25th one set to be released in July 08. Those are definitely highly recommended. Fitzpatrick's War by Theodore Judson is also a amazing sci-fi book, too bad he hasn't written anything else though.

He is definately one of the best sci-fi writers I have ever read. His Wing Commander Series is absolutely amazing and a true favorite. I think that anyone who plays Eve would love this series too. Here are a list of the books: Wing Commander: Action Stations Wing Commander: End Run Wing Commander: Fleet Action Wing Commander: Heart of the Tiger Wing Commander: False Colors Wing Commander: The Price of Freedom All of them are highly recommended. They are in order chronologically. Enjoy!

Mangus Thermopyle Divine Retribution Divine 0rder	Posted - 2008.03.03 16:21:00 - [130] I have read about a gazillion SF books, and here are my top-3: 1. Stephen Donaldsson: The Gap Conflict (5 books). My nick is taken from a character in there. 2. Iain M. Banks books about the Culture. 3. Dan Simmons first 2 books about Hyperion (the third and fourth isnt very good).

Mangus Thermopyle Divine Retribution Divine 0rder	Posted - 2008.03.03 16:23:00 - [131] Originally by: Talon SilverHawk Alastair Reynolds: The Revelation Space Series, Chasm City, Pushing Ice, Redemption Art, Galactic North, Absolution Gap, Revalation Space, Century Rain That would probably be my fourth choise. Excellent books.
Sue Mee	Posted - 2008.03.03 16:26:00 - [132] well, maybe not the best sci-fi book, but i remember reading Jurassic Park (from Michael Crichton) and found it increibly better than the movie. i thought it was trully a believable situation and it has a filosophy and mathematical background that i found quite enjoying.

Ged Satti Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2008.03.04 04:09:00 - [138] Edited by: Ged Satti on 04/03/2008 04:09:15 As much as it pains me to say it Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon probably shouldn't be on the list since it's really just fiction and not Sci-Fi, though an amazing piece of fiction it is. In fact everyone who was planning on trying to gank me this week drop those plans and go read some Stephenson instead. Also unless he's gotten better than what I read of his I can't believe people are touting Kevin J Anderson on here. It's like he read "sci-fi/fantasy writing for dummies" and decided to give it a go.
Silc'n Caldari Mythos Corp RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.04 05:05:00 - [139] Matthew Stover: Traitor If you're into Star Wars you'll love it. It's part of the New Jedi Order series, which starts a few years after Episode 6. An alien race from another galaxy is invading - they use biotechnology exclusively (their weapons, their armors, even their spaceships are bio-engineered organisms) and perform self mutilation to come close to their gods. And strangely enough, they appear to be non-existent in the Force...
Spacy Tracy	Posted - 2008.03.04 05:22:00 - [140] >32. Stephen Donaldson: The Gap Series Dark, dark, dark stuff. Very Eve-like in it's grimness.
