The Hero of Ages

The Hero of Ages
by Brandon Sanderson.

The first two of this series were quite enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing it through.

Mistborn : The Final Empire

34725534Mistborn : The Final Empire
by Brandon Sanderson.

Seemingly universally acclaimed among fantasy aficionados so it popped to the top of the queue.

The Forever War
by Joe Haldeman.

Somehow I’ve never heard of this book, though it is considered a military sci-fi classic. I thought it’d be longer.

A Clash Of Kings

by George R. R. Martin.

The second book in the greatest fantasy series ever put to paper. Oh yeah, I went there.

Absolution Gap

by Alastair Reynolds.

The final book in the Revelation Space series. Carries on the strong momentum of the preceding 3.

Redemption Ark

Redemption Ark
by Alastair Reynolds.

Part of a strong trilogy — or quartet depending on who you believe — of hard sci-fi space opera. Really compelling stuff. You know what sucks? This guy has a PhD in astronomy and writes this well. Couldn’t he have spread the wealth a bit instead of hogging all the talent?

Eifelheim

Eifelheim
by Michael Flynn.

Never heard of it. However, Eco-like science fiction? Sign me up.

Olympos

Olympos
by Dan Simmons.

The sequel to the ambitious Ilium. Quite good but I’ve heard I’m eventually due for disappointment.
