- John Scalzi - The Last Emperox (third in a series and I enjoyed the
first two: The Collapsing Empire and The Consuming Fire)
- Martin Shoemaker - Today I Am Carey
- Blake Crouch - Recursion (I absolutely loved his "Dark Matter")
- James S. A. Corey - Leviathan Wakes (I brought this up before -- I'd
like to see if the first volume of the series is good)
- Patrick S. Tomlinson - Gate Crashers
- Alastair Reynolds - Elysium Fire (6th in a "series", but his novels
can stand alone -- I've read the first three and would love to go fill in
the gaps too, so not next month please)
- Andy Weir - Artemis (we read The Martian)
- Susanna Clarke - Piranesi (I liked her Jonathan Strange and Mr.
Norell. And my wife, who is not a normal sf/fantasy reader, but who has
really good taste in mainstream literature says it is great)
- Alix E. Harrow - The Once and Future Witches (I liked her Ten Thousand
Doors of January).
- Derek Künsken - The Quantum Magician
- David Gerrold - Hella
- Kim Stanley Robinson - Ministry for the Future
- Michael Swanwick - The Iron Dragon's Mother (I liked The Iron
Dragon's Daughter (1993))
- Richard K. Morgan - Black Man (also called Thirteen) (I liked several
of Morgan's books)
- Donald Kingsbury - Psychohistorical Crisis
- Walter Jon WIlliams - Quillifer (I suggested this once before)
-
Maybe:
- Martha Wells - Network Effect (fifth in the Murderbot series, but the
first novel -- I've read the first of the four novellas).
- Mary Robinette Kowal - The Relentless Moon (third in the Lady
Astronaut series -- I've read the first two.)
- Timothy Zahn - Thrawn (Yes, a Star Wars book, first in a trilogy. But
I always liked Zahn's writing.)
- Naomi Novik - A Deadly Education (I liked her Uprooted and her dragon
books.)
Some older books I'd like to reread and discuss:
- John Gardner - Grendel
- Lester del Rey - Nerves
- Poul Anderson - The Broken Sword
- Brian Aldis - The Long Afternoon of Earth
- John Brunner - The Shockwave Rider
- L. Sprague de Camp - Lest Darkness Fall
- David Gerrold & Larry Niven - The Flying Sorcerers
- Harry Turtledove - The Guns of the South
- John W. Campbell, Jr. - Invaders from the Infinite
- Emma Bull - War for the Oaks
- Michael Moorcock - Elric of Melniboné
-
