FAIL!

He forgot, "The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold. The same guy who wrote, "More Tribbles, More Trouble" for Star Trek back in the 60's!

Ray Bradbury wrote allot more good books than Fahrenheit 451 I think he was underrepresented on that list but i will definitly utilize this list thanks for posting.

Dune as well as the Fellowship of the Ring should be at least in the top ten if not top five. But thanks for posting.

I've been looking for a compilation of the best sci-fi novels for a LONG time.

The Chronicals of Thomas Covenant is missing. Just as good as Tolkiens LOTR.

Terry Goodkind isn't even on the list for Wizard's First Rule, yet Ursula K. Leguin is halfway up it for A Wizard of Earthsea?


double-ew, tee, eff?

As long as The Stars My Destination, by Alfred Bester, is on the list, I'm content.

That is very good, but I do like HG Wells.

Raymond E Fiest, is up there with tolkin on some of his novels.

It's not there!


I'd nominate it for top ten, easy.

I`m surprised there was no Ian M. Banks or Peter F. Hamilton on that list.

Novels as Iain M. Banks

Much of Banks's science fiction deals with a vast interstellar civilization, the Culture, which he has developed in some detail over the course of seven novels and a number of short stories.

* Consider Phlebas (1987)
* The Player of Games (1988)
* Use of Weapons (1990)
* Excession (1996)
* Inversions (1998)
* Look to Windward (2000)
* Matter (2008)

His other, non-Culture, science fiction novels are:

* Against a Dark Background (1993)
* Feersum Endjinn (1994)
* The Algebraist (2004)
* Transition (2009)

Novels by Peter F. Hamilton

The Night's Dawn Trilogy (1996-1999)

After the Greg Mandel novels, Hamilton wrote a space opera in three volumes, known collectively as The Night's Dawn Trilogy. The three books are each well over a thousand pages long and are not standalone novels. The trilogy is set in a universe with a wealth of worlds and artificial orbiting colonies. The plot is centered around the souls of the dead coming back from a hellish "beyond" to possess the living, and the latter fighting back. It was followed by a companion to the series, The Confederation Handbook, an informational book containing data about the universe of the Night's Dawn trilogy. Hamilton re-set several earlier short stories in the Confederation timeline, published as the collection A Second Chance at Eden, including the newly written title novella.
