access_flux Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 oi you guys are all sci fi nerds like myself? you should go into the closest Games Workshop and get any science fiction novel you can find espicially the - Guant's Ghost series or the - EisenHorn triology ( Xenos, Malleus etc. both written by Dan Abnett, awesome author i have read about 20 books from there, and never regretted buying one of them.

XERXES Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 the dune series is the best sci fi ive ever read, and i have read all the star wars novels up to the crystal star. dune surpases star wars in every way. The star wars novels got really old really fast...there is always some warlord from the empire who has a nice ship and manages to try to organize the empire again to kll the rebels:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 LotR (not done yet, but very good) NJO (Complete opposite of all other SW books XERXES describes) XW Series- Still good, even with the Warlords.... Redwall - It's about mice with swords and that crap. I only read the first one, Redwall, but it was very good and spawned many a sequel/ prequel.

XERXES Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 redwall was pretty cool, i didnt get into it though. which XW book have you gotten to? and yes, ive never read any of the NJO books, i was talking about the bigger novels like Truce at Bakura, Thrawn Trilogy (which was pretty good) Corellian Trilogy, Crystal Star, Courtship of Leia, I Jedi, Children of the Jedi, Darksaber and a few others until i stopped at one of the later ones.

Katarn07 Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I finished after the 4th book. My library is the stupidest place on earth. There books date back to the early 90s. That is seriously the newest books they have. I got the 1st four from a friend. I liked 1,2, & 4. 3 was a bit of a drag... I would like to finish them off. There are only 10, right? (only?!)

nova_wolf Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 NJO for a SW book series. :Edit: The collection of Tales from the... books - excellent :Edit: Liked the Adrian Mole Series, but never read Cappacino Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I really liked the Thrawn trilogy. That was probably my favorite SW book trilogy. LotR is the best trilogy of all time. The best Sci Fi book I ever read (and I haven't read many) would be IMZADI which is a Star Trek book that tells about how Troi and Riker met and courted. I liked it a lot but then again the last time I read it was about 8 years ago. Have fun! BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTeddyPaul Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Originally posted by CaptainRAVE Have you read any other Star Trek books?? I don't know if you are making fun of me or not. It is funny if you are. I have a collection of about 30 ST books and 50 SW books. When I say I have not read m uch sci fi I mean other types than SW and Trek. The last ST book I read was a stinker called "Let There Be Dragons" if I remember the title correctly. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Warrior Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I don't read much but from what I have read my favourite series is the LOTR series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Besides LOTR, the Star Wars Trilogy is a fun read. As far as Star Trek books go, I have read many upon many TNG era books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Mostly LOTR and Harry Potter (great books). But the best sci-fi must be Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 The Hunt for Red Octber and the rest by Tom Clancy. He writes amazing stuff! Also, LOTR of course. I just love those books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I'm astonished... Nobody here has read the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov? Damn, it's a great series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 The Op-Center series by Tom Clancy is quite good. LOTR is a definite, as is Harry Potter. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede is a great series of books. It was aimed at a younger demographic, but it is still a very good read. The Hounds of God trilogy by Judith Tarr stands out to me as a great example of excellent Christian-based fiction. The Dragonlance series by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman is probably my favorite series to read. The Chronicles Trilogy is the best fantasy I've read in a long time and is the only set of books that even comes close to comparing to LOTR.

ckcsaber Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I cannot believe no one has mentione Wheel of time yet. The greatest fantasy series I have ever read. These books are so great, my avatar is one of the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I read an ST book by William Shatner. The Mirror, Mirror Kirk, Janeway (she was good), and Spock (good as well) came into the universe and caused trouble. It was continued, but there hasn't been a next one yet. I think it was called... Nemesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
