Cliff Ray 185 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Peter Hamilton, Neal Asher or Iain M Banks; All excellent, but you need the M in Iain Banks' name as otherwise it isn't science fiction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The Pagans, The Penal Colony and Refuge: all by Richard Herley. Very good writer indeed: Penal Colony is futuristic survival on an island prison. Refuge is a post-apocalyptic tale of survival. The Pagans is set in the Stone Age. I've got them all on my Kindle, along with another 300 odd books, mostly post-apocalyptic survival. The good thing about Kindle is that you can read a few page on Amazon before buying, as well as reading the reviews. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drebz87 39 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've finished reading the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series of books and The Winds of Winter dosen't look like it will be released anytime soon, I've also read the "The Hedge Knight" trilogy so what series of books or book would any of you recommend reading. I'm open to any genre of books aslong as they're interesting and a good read. Thanks. Try the name of the wind series by patrick rothfuss, brilliant books! the Mistborn by Branden Sanderson are good I love the magicians guild by trudi canavan. Never go wrong with discworld, pratchetts humour is brilliant. Also give bartimaeus by jonathon stroud a try it had me in stitch's. Then read david eddings belgariad series(old but still good) I read waaaay too much lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a e reader, SM Reine has written several series of urban fantasy books, the first 3 are available as a boxed set for free. Nicky Charles has written a series of werewolf books, all of which are free. I'm currently reading the 2nd book in Jason Born's Wald series. Its about the Roman conquest of Germania, and the subsequent loss of the legions under Varus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drebz87 39 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I also enjoyed Conn Igulden Emperor series, its based on Juluis cesear from when he was a young soldier serving on war galleys and captured and ransomed in north africa through to his assisination, really good series if you like historical books, if you enjoyed the rome series on tv years ago give this series a try, or if your interested in Julius Caesar lol. Right at this minute im reading Joe abercrombie books, logan nine fingers awesome books aswel!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The discworld books by Terry Pratchett are real good John.. They are based on old folklore, a dash of Toilken here and there, a few satires of modern life (politics, multiculturism) and a shit load of humour! There's over 30 books altogether divided up into arcs of certain characters which sometimes overlap with each other. Should keep you busy until GGRM gets on and finishes The Winds of Winter.. I'm hanging waiting for it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wildling 520 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I recommend that you give The Running Man a try, it's a great read far better than the film and also give the Hunger Games Trilogy a look they are a fantastic set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've done them, wa s really surprised by the Hunger series tbh........good reads. I've settled on the discworld series for now and I've got this thread for reference to try more after. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
