Who is your favorite Sci-Fi author?

[Living Ink]

David Brin is one of my favorites.

Here's a link to a description of one of his books in particular that I liked.

Kiln People

I'd have to say that Issac Asimov is one of my personal favourites.

Michael Crichton shall be mine. Prey was a rather intense book. I read it in like two days.  

[Kurzon_Dax]

My Mum, the guy who wrote Pendragon, and William Shatner

Nanobots! That book was awesome. Talk about a thriller! I couldn't put it down either. 3nodding

I would have to agree. It was not my copy. It was actually a teacher's copy. She let me have it for the school year. I read it during the summer and gave it back to her. I loved that book.

Robert Heinlein. whee I LOVED Stranger in a Strange Land. I want to read more by him. Bradbury has a writing style that's so pretty though, I envy it. I've been reading Asimov's Foundation series and that's pretty good too and I haven't read anything by Brin yet, but I almost did buy Kiln People one day. I still intend to read it and hearing from other people who have read it that it's good is a good sign, makes me more certain it won't turn out to be a waste of time.

Brin's series on The Uplift Wars is really good too. Uplift refers to the process by which one sentient species brings another up to rationality. Hmm... I don't know how much more I should say. Don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Shh! No more! ninja I already DO have the first book in that series I'm going to read soon, and that is about the extent of what I know the books are about from the back of the cover. (I like to be surprised with my books. Often I don't even like to read the back cover because it gives away many early bits of the story.)

David Weber is by far my favorite sci/fi military followed closely by Robert R. R. Green (I believe that is his first name). The Honor Harrington series is amazing as is the Deathstalker series.
