Science fiction books

[Glavinius]

Hey guys any of you know a good Sci Fi book??? With dark humor, politics, good character and ancient alien races like the protheans in mass effect or xel'naga in starcraft.
I just finished reading the first law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, i really love his style. Are they any Sci fi authors like him??

Well i hope all of you are doing great, hope to see you all in Old republic

Well, my Sci-fi tastes go for more realism in the sense that I prefer to avoid latex-masked aliens speaking English...My favorite author as of now is Alastair Reynolds. There's the whole "revelation space" universe named after the first book, but I'd start with Prefect (works as a stand-alone book) or (not part of RSU) Pushing Ice.

You can get short descriptions for both from Wikipedia.

Bought revelation space today : ))

Perhaps not the sort of sci-fi you're looking for, but Dune (by Frank Herbert) is definitely worth a read. There's also a televised mini series based on it that's quite decent, but I'd recommend reading the series.

Thumbs up for this one. I really liked Dune and have read that whole series like 4-5 times.

Actually, even the Dune movie (from the 80's, with Kyle McLahlan) is relatively decent too...

Humm dunno about Dune, ever since i played the game i have rejected it but i will give it a try now

[Zarhan]

Depends on the game. Dune II (the RTS) had very little to do with the original, Dune (from Cryo) was quite accurate in covering the plot. And a good game as well

Peter F. Hamiltons Night Dawn Trilogy, without a doubt. Has it all.

Ah great, thanks pyx.Im looking forward to reading it.
And Zarhan dunno which one it was, kind of a long time ago.
