Ender seris wa s agreta seris

For those that enjoyed the Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, there are two plot lines you can follow:

Ender's Story:
Ender's Game
Ender in Exile: Ganges (Has been hinted)
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind

Bean's Story:
Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant

And, the novel that is supposed to tie the two series together:
Shadows in Flight (Has been hinted)

Personally, I've read all but Shadow Puppets (:oops:) Great series, both of them.

Also, an interesting series on humanity and space travel in the series by Ben Jeapes. Not really complicated, but well laid out and simple, enjoyable reads:
His Majesty's Starship
The Xenocide Mission

Seems nobody mentioned:
-Kim Stanley Robinson: "Red Mars" "Green Mars" " Blue Mars"
-Phillip K. D.i.c.k: many novels and short stories ("Ubik" "Cantata 140")
-Stanislaw Lem: "Solaris" (MUCH better than the movie(the one starring (C)looney)) and other novels
-Ursula K. Le Guin
and... ehh... Rogue Squadron novels (but if you wanna get into StarWars Thimothy Zahn's the best choice).

I don't think anyone mentioned Stephen Baxter - The Time Ships

Warhammer 40K

Gav thorpe(last chancers)
Dan Abnett( Ravenor series, Eisnhorn)

or if you like to read cyberpunk( not bladeruner related):
Hex series( though a bit childish themed, still good reading)

The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells

Thrawn Trilogy:

Heir to the Empire
Dark Force Rising
The Last Command

All by Timothy Zahn

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

I've read most of every Star Wars book written some of the more recent ones have gotten mediocre but there are some great books out there for Star Wars fans.

@ Phoenix of Terra: Read Shadow Puppets! Honestly, it's my favourite out of the whole Ender universe. Mind you I haven't read Xenocide or Children of the Mind yet.

Also, the Apprentice Adept series by Piers Anthony, is a cross over between a fantasy and a Sci-Fi. It's about a young man named Stile who goes between a futuristic world and a fantasy world. The first 3 books are the only ones I bothered to read. They were quite good and funny.

read Philip K **Filtered**'s "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"

read it recently and its pretty awsome, better than Bladerunner imo

also, can't believe that Asimov's I Robot and The Rest of the Robots

i personally only read I Robot, i found The Rest of the Robots rather laborious

All the Peter F Hamilton books are awesome reads, His new book The Dreaming Void is a must as well! Also take a look at Fallen Dragon and Mispent youth! ~Thamuz~

Anything by Dan Abnett. specifically Gaunts Ghosts. you can pick up an onmibus of 3 of his books in the series for $20NZ. win.

Storm of Iron is also good.

ian m banks i find very good. the algebraist in particular.

alan dean foster wrote an excellent (lol in my opinionification) trilogy called er . . . the damned trilogy. great scale to it. i believe he wrote some of the starwars books turagnor. i used a device called the ''email'' to ask if there were more books after the original damned trilogy. his reply was as plesent as itwas unexpected.

sten is also entertaining

as is arthur c clarke

did i mention alastair reynolds?
great, dark, hard sci-fi with really believable "sci" part (well.. the guy used to work for ESTEC) and good ideas for deep-space warfare tactics.

'The Sparrow' by Mary Doria Russell.

Picked up a book from a charity shop the other day cost me 50p and its called Marrow by Robert Reed, has anyone read it? i thought it was an excellent read gonna try some of his other books now as i couldn't put it down! ~Thamuz~
