Better than the original, wouldn’t you say?

Nerdy, I’m sure, but I like their books.

Tobias Buckell

Caribbean steampunk. Caribbean space opera. He’s created a unique future.

Lois McMaster Bujold

Her last couple of books have been in the fantasy genre, but I especially enjoy her Vorkosigan series.

Jim Butcher

This year he wrapped up his Alera series. There’s still the Dresden Files, though. He’s really prolific and he’s still young so lots of books left to be written.

Orson Scott Card

The Ender series.

Raymond Feist

The Riftwar Saga has been in print for over 20 years and new books are constantly being added to the series.

Jeff Lindsay

The Dexter series on Showtime are based on Jeff’s books. He’s taken the characters in a different direction than the TV show.

John Scalzi

Old Man’s War. The Android’s Dream. He’s sort of like Elmore Leonard crossed with Robert Heinlein. My favorite sci-fi writer.

David Wellington

I read his first vampire book, 13 Bullets. He’s written 3 sequels. SCARY.
