If you prefer authors with a bit of a reputation then anything by Neal Asher or Gary Gibson, with the Neal Asher books you need to read them in the right order.
Also the Humanities Fire trilogy by Michael Cobley is pretty good - proper galaxy spanning space opera! If you are willing to give an unknown author a try then I recommend: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Exiles-The-Progenitor-Trilogy-Book-ebook/dp/B003UYUWE2?ie=UTF8&keywords=dan%20worth&qid=1460387742&ref_=sr_1_6&s=digital-text&sr=1-6 That lot should keep you going for a while :-) Better than watching LUFC anyway :-( For fantasy with attitude try Joe Abercrombie or Richard Morgan.

I'm into Science Fiction and recently amused myself with re-reading all of Iain M Bank's books. Now for obvious reasons he's not going to write any more, so I'm looking for a new obsession. So a couple of questions to the list hive mind; any recommendations for SF writers in the hard SF vein of Banks?, I don't like the term space opera but I guess that is kind of the thing I'm looking for, space ships, big lasers, weird tech etc thinking about nonSF, I've never read any of Neil Gaiman's books and heard they are very good and recommendations on where to start? Just don't anyone mention that feckin' games of thrones shit............ ttfn Richard _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
