What are some of your favorite scifi book authors, and books by them?
Alastair Reynolds has written on of my favorites ever, House of Suns, and I really like the lore of his Revelation Space universe. I especially enjoyed the spinoffs exploring the Yellowstone demarchy centered around Panoply.
Inhibitor Phase ended up a weaker entry, imo, charachters that felt a bit too much like Mary Sues. Like mere excuses to exposition dump about the universe itself. Which did enjoy immensely. Still I would much rather have seen some large scale change occur, rather than a the mere zoom-in on some catalytic events.
My favorite author is Gene Wolfe. His stuff doesn’t connect with everyone, but it definitely connects with me.
That man was a magician. He didn’t just write stories, he cast spells. I don’t know of anyone else like him.
The Sun series is my favorite. If you’re curious, the collection of his short stories is quite good.
The Island of Doctor Death And Other Stories And Other Stories
I’ll have to check out Reynolds! Sounds interesting
