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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
