Amateur.

Try Robert Jordan's Wheel Of Time series - it's 11 books long (currently) and the author went off and died before he finished.

Rama, the only Sci-fi I've read twice. Fantastic stuff. How does the 7 suns compare ? If I liked Rama, would I like this ?

On a slightly off topic note, I'm just reading Bryson- Tales from a Big Country and absolutely wetting myself.

I thought it wanderred and wandered, stretched plot lines out and realy didnt have much to say.

5/10

Well.....I believe he carried on working on the plot right up until his death, and his widow has engaged someone else to write the next installment based on all that work.....hopefully, they'll draw it to an end!

If you're after something that's entertaining, sad, and hilarious, look no further than this

One of my old drinking buddies from Bath had a heart attack, then his wife died, then he went to live in a shack in the Pyrennes, then he toured France on a three wheeler thing all in aid of the British Heart Foundation, then his dad died, and then he wrote a book about the whole thing. My copy arrived yesterday and I'm already whizzing through it, it's fekkin awsome. I'd recommend it if you fancy a good read



Synopsis
"French Letters" or a journey to at least three places is a w*rk of non-fiction written by a fifty something English man. A heart attack gave him the tap on the shoulder and changed his life. Quitting w*rk and Britain for the French High Pyrenees, he tried to become a mountain man but found himself journeying around France in an unreliable three-wheeled vehicle, called Peter, at a frustrating stop-start pace. With a head for escape, a desire to keep moving and a dodgy heart torn between the girl he thought he loved and the new life he thought he could sustain, the true story unfolds gently to culminate in Brancaster on the North Norfolk coast of England. This is the place where he comes to be with his dying Father and it's probably the place where he learns more about himself and those he really loves. Funny and peculiar, "French Letters" is a travel book, a journey to at least three places.

I hope so, because it was getting bloody boring by book 5.

Would recommend to anyone into their space scifi

Have also read it and quite good, although a bit immature?

Would recomend reading Alistair Reynolds, the books are not one saga but they all take place in the same galaxy, the best sci fi books ive read, although Peter Hamilton is also very good

[looks over top of glasses]

Can I be the first to draw attention to this post's title?

'Just finished an 7 Book Saga'

Presumably the OP drove to work in 'an car' closely followed by drinking 'an cup of tea'.

I blame J0no.

[Thudd]

I'm not impressed by Kevin J Anderson.

He's just a second-rate ghost writer who lacks ideas of his own.
The stuff he did on Dune lacked Vision. I read them all, waiting for something new and extraordinary, but it never came. True talent like Herbert (or even Clarke or Asimov, until they got old and confused and started trying to link all their existing Sagas together) is lightyears ahead.

L Ron Hubbard did a decology, got to book 7 but never finished, his book 'Battlefield Earth' is also very good, and thick!
