Default Re: New books that are out

That book sounds interesting, i would read that book but somehow i am reading two books right now. If you guys are looking for great fantacies you can read the ice and fire series which starts with a game of thrones. Another great series is Memory, Sorrow and Thorn....yes i bet you did read it but if not it is great.
THe book while may take a while to get into since the begining introduces a dozen or so characters and a chapter is in first person but in each chapter it changes. I mean it is a great book highly recommended and it is in many langauges.
The Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn starts with the dragonbone chair. It is about a boy named seomen who has to run from a castle and survive, there is much much more but do not wish to spoil it.

These two series are great and are highly recommended by me. If you read any of them and do or do not like them tell me.

I´m at this moment reading throgh the Pip & Flinx series from Alan Dean Foster.... I´m up to the book "The Howling Stones" that i believe is the 8th (chronologically) in the series...

So far it was fun, i particularly liked the books "For the Love of Mother-Not" and "Orphan Star", and the most boring was the "BloodHype" book...

Beside the main protagonists, the characters i like most are the Thranx Trezesuzex (if i spelled it right it was pure luck) and the Human Bran Tse-Mallory...

What good sci-fi authors you would recommend? I like long series of books, like the Honor Harrington series, Cherryh Allaince-Union, David Weber Starfire series, etc..

Well, Cherryh does one based on humans somewhat accidently ending up on an alien world. Among other things, the aliens also have an alien mentality - These are not humans in a suit.

Then there's one by Julie E. Czerneda which is always fun:
