Default Re: OT: Some Good Sci-fi Suggestions?

David Weber is good for big explosions and intricate plots. You have to have a lot of patience, though.

The 1632 series by Eric Flint (Alternate History) is fun.

Pretty near any sci-fi by Alan Dean Foster. Warning: *Big* Meta-Plot of DOOM!

The Bolo books is just plain cool. Giant sentient battle tanks that can survive multiple nukes. I hate to say it, but they are cooler than giant robots.

The World Turned Upside Down is a collection of old short stories; unlike many collections, nearly all of them are very good.
