Anne McCaffery
Anne McCaffery tends to write more fantasy stories than scifi, but she is great. McCaffery is a very prolific writer. One of her most written about topics is the Dragons of Pern. She also has a book of short stories, The Girl Who Heard Dragons, that has many stories on all different topics, that are all very interesting and well written that I really enjoyed. She has two new series, With the Powers and Partnerships. Haven't read either yet. Click here to go to Anne McCaffery's page.
Douglas Adams
Doulgas Adams' books are often called humor, but they have a very scifi twist. All of his stuff is good, though it often seems like nonsense. He has written The Hitchhiker's Trilogy (including: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, Mostly Harmless and a short story, Young Zaphod Plays It Safe - yes, he knows that's more than three, but he likes the sound of a trilogy. :) These are great books. They tell you many things like all the uses for a towel, how to hitchhike across the galaxy and the answer to the ultimate question (forty-two, but who knows what the question is?). He has also written some slightly more down to Earth books, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul. These are about a detective, Dirk Gently. DNA is writing another book, The Salmon of Doubt, anout Dirk Gently. I don't know when it is supposed to come out since it doesn't seem that's he's gotten past the title and all the interviews about how great it is though it was supposed to come out a couple years ago. If you want to subscribe to his newsgroup, it's alt.fan.douglas-adams.
Kim Stanley Robinson
Kim Stanley Robinson is one of my favorite authors though I haven't read much of his stuff. He has a trilogy about Mars colonization. (Includes: Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars.) It is really well written and exciting though they are really long. If he had been thinking, he would have made it a series of nine books and made more money! :) I really enjoy it, and I'm sure you would too!
Kevin J. Anderson
Anderson is probably well known for the Star Wars books he writes and the X-Files ones. (I like the X-F ones, but I have never read a Star Wars book.) He has also written some others with Doug Beason. One of my favorites is Ill Wind. It shows how dependant we are on petroleum based products and how chaotic our world would become if they were all destroyed. It is really well written and exciting.
