Your missing 'Service of the Sword' and 'Crown of Slaves'.

And if you like David Weber, try the Bahzell books.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Aristoi / Walter Jon Williams
Diaspora / Greg Egan
Ender's Game / Orson Scott Card
...

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

I am surprised no one has mentioned David Brin's "Uplift" series or Glen Cook's "Black Company" volumes. Both highly recommended.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Warning: In some ways, the black company books make David Drake's stuff look nice.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

I'm currently reading Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, the prequel to The Da Vince Code. Amazingly, it's reading almost like a sci-fi book, because it's dealing with an anti-matter. I'd recommend it.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Just finished Angels & Demons. It was much better than I thought it would be. It's a page turner. Can't wait to read The Da Vinci Code. If it's anything like this Last book, it will be great. I may have found my favorite new non-sci-fi author. hey, somebody's got to fill the void when Stephen King finally retires.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Mine would have to be the Pern series followed closely by the Corean Chronicles by L.E. Modesitt JR.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Just finished the first 3 books of Guardians of the Flame. First book was excellent, but the next two really went downhill, I think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Finished reading The DaVinci Code. It is a great book, and you don't really need to read Angels & Demons to understand things (there are a couple of reference to what happened, but you really don't need to read it to read this book). I don't think I'm giving out a spoiler to say that this book involves a search for the Holy Grail. And you'd be suprised at what this books claims to be the Grail. There is some historical precedence for this theory, as I saw it on Discovery or Learning Channel not too long ago. But you'll have to read the book to find out for yourself.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Just finished Valhalla by Clive Cussler and well, not his best work but still very interesting....

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">True, but still a good book. I'd wish he'd forget about Kurt Austin and this other new series of books he's starting to write, and just concentrate on Dirk Pitt.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

The first book I read was Inka Gold, and it was a great book. Since then I have read most of his books in the series and found them all to be great reads. I have not yet read one of the new books, although I have it and did loan it to my grandmother who read it and said it was good. (Sware to God)

Dirk Pitt just sounds like a Porn star name. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Not really a series but I will read anything by Terry Pratchett (for humour) or David Gemmell (for Fantasy, except Ironhands Daughter or the Hawk Queen which even he hates). For Science Fiction I automatically read Peter F. Hamilton (TRY nights dawn trilogy or Pandoras Star)

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Damn, I knew there were a few books but I didn't know there were so many. Good thing I don't like the series or I'd go broke buying them all.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
 

Digital Knight by Ryk Spoor.

Vampires, werewolves, more plot twists than a snake climbing a rope (almost) and an arch-villian that could eat Cthulha for breakfast. Literally.

From baen books, so you can get it on webscriptions. Supernatural thriller.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">True, but his son's name is Dirk. Maybe it's from his being part German (I think that's what his bio said). I think the first book of his I read was Raise The Titanic, since I've always been fascinated by the Titanic sinking. I think I may have read a couple of more of his books out of order, then started reading them in order. As far as the Kurt Austin books, I don't mind reading them, but his Kurt Austin is almost a clone of Dirk Pitt, and they can almost be interchangable. I'll stay with Dirk Pitt and his friends.
