LOL! Adams' books are hilarious to read. Too bad about him dying a while back. :(

Ah, well, we all gotta go sometime.

Honor Harrington series...love the military sci-fi myself.  And the sci-fi books my aunt writes :D.  I've read almost all of them except for one and they are quite good! (still need time to read that newest one)  Check it out: www.czerneda.com


Ms. Czerneda. I like her stuff, but she annoys me. After reading the first two books of the Web Shifters and the first two books of the Trade Pact Universe, I felt like I'd only read like one and a half distinct stories. Luckily, I decided to give In the Company of Others a shot and it brought up my estimation of her vastly--even if some of the relationships in the story were a bit rushed.

All in all, she's one of the authors I buy, no matter what. Definately one of my guilty pleasures.

Hahah I can't disagree with you either.  The first few books she's done definately have some similarities but I think its starting to expand and change.  Thing is the first novel sort of sat around for 20 years...so I think once things started going forward you have to sort of regain your ground again.  I'm glad you like them overall!  I do too!  Just need more time to read!  But I'm sure she'll be writing for some time to come!
