Grack21 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The Dragon Never Sleeps probably edges it as my personal favorite but it is definitely awesome. Would actually be nice if they re printed it like they have done with alot of his older stuff.TOR had a paperback reprint out...oh...2007ish? It disappeared pretty quick though.

Nukelavee Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Carthage? A Phonecian (SP) definately.Likely under read because it's soooo dark, and it takes me, anyways, most of teh book before it's coolness sneaks up and ganks me.Anything by Alexis Gilliland. Seriously. Fall of the Empire is so frikkin good. I mean, the head of the Imperial secret police undercover in a windbreaker with "Union Gestapo" on it?The Wizenbeak trilogy, fantasy, again, so much fun, but so dark and, umm, mature. I really can't champion these books enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have The Dragon Never Sleeps from Nightshade ( I freaking love the cover btw ). I meant to say it would be nice if the reprinted Tower of Fear. Unless they have and I just completely missed it.

I have heard this complaint from others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronson Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The Star Rover by Jack London his only fantasy novel . It's about man name of Darrell Standing who is on death row and tied up in strait jacket . He discovers that he can Astral project himself into his past lives at will. It's not a well known book and it's unlike all of his other novels. It is truly epic in scope and scale. A journey across time space an history . It is a great read.

Ser Pink of Floyd Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ive never read them, but Im going to ask if anyone has read David Gemmell's Trojan War Trilogy?Id never heard of it, or indeed Gemmell as an author until stumbling upon a review on a SFbook website i frequent. I know now that Gemmell died prior to the final book being completed, so I was hoping someone might have read them all and give it a recommendation, Im just hsistant in buying into a series that he never finished. Although im aware his wife finshed the book for him after having the best part of it alread written and with descriptive notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The Troy trilogy is widely seen as some of Gemmell's best career work, so I would not hesitate if you like his books in general. Cerrtainly the third one has been as well received as the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TannerSack Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 John Marco's "Tyrants and KIngs" not a very difficult read but highly entertaining. Oddly his later work seems to be of less quality, you'd think it would be the other way round but go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanna Mormont Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I highly recommend The Gone-Away World and Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway. They're sort of science-fiction-y, not directly related to each other but set in the same universe (ours, but slightly askew). Really funny and scary and brilliant.Also, Glass Books of the Dream Eaters & The Dark Volume by GW Dahlquist. They're steampunk fantasy for adults, really really REALLY good. Can't recommend them enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
