Kevin J Anderson recommends
The Spellstone of Shaltus (1980)
Linda E Bushyager
"An outstanding fantasy. Superb, marvelous, exciting, refreshing, brilliant."
Battlefield Earth (1982)
L Ron Hubbard
"'Battlefield Earth' is like a 12-hour 'Indiana Jones' marathon. Non-stop and fast-paced. Every chapter has a big bang-up adventure."
Standard Candles (1996)
Jack McDevitt
"In both his novels and his short fiction, Jack McDevitt has shown a terrific range of skills and imagination and speculation. Only one thing remains the same from piece to piece to piece - they're all damn fine stories."
Children of the Dusk (1997)
(Madagascar Manifesto, book 3)
Janet Berliner
"Children of the Dusk is a highly unusual and frightening depiction of a little-known aspect of the Holocaust."
Fragments (1997)
James F David
"Literate, creepy, and full of secrets, written with a clean, precise prose as deceptively simple as an iceberg."
Fortress on the Sun (1997)
Paul Cook
"Provocative. A chilling and intriguing puzzle ... an unexpected and original resolution - and a great climax!"
The Sum of All Men (1998)
(Runelords, book 1)
David Farland
"With The Runelords, David Farland breaks new ground in fantasy fiction and wakes up anyone who thought they'd read everything the genre had to offer. Definitely a new name to watch in the field."
Strangewood (1999)
Christopher Golden
"If Clive Barker had gone Through the Looking Glass, he might have come up with something as imaginative and compelling as Strangewood."
Deathday (2001)
(Sauron Duology, book 1)
William C Dietz
"Great reading for anyone who loved Independence Day or The War of the Worlds."
The Red Church (2002)
(Sheriff Littlefield, book 1)
Scott Nicholson
"Scott Nicholson writes with a mixture of Clive Barker, H.P. Lovecraft and Manly Wade Wellman."
Dhampir (2003)
(Noble Dead Saga 1, book 1)
Barb Hendee and J C Hendee
"...LORD OF THE RINGS and BUFFY... with a healthy dose of THE STING..."
Elantris (2005)
(Elantris, book 1)
Brandon Sanderson
"Elantris is a new Ben Hur for the fantasy genre, with a sweeping, epic storyline and well-drawn and sympathetic characters."
Matriarch (2006)
(Wess'Har, book 4)
Karen Traviss
"Avid SF readers have a new 'must-read' series, and her legions of Star Wars fans are in for a treat."
Plague Year (2007)
(Plague , book 1)
Jeff Carlson
"A grim and fascinating new twist on the post-holocaust story."
Empyre (2007)
Josh Conviser
"Empyre is edgy, entertaining, and frightening. We can only hope the scary technology Conviser proposes is the purest fiction!"
Lamentation (2009)
(Psalms of Isaak, book 1)
Ken Scholes
"Ken Scholes's Lamentation is an iconic SF story cloaked in fantasy, drawing raw material from classics such as A Canticle for Liebowitz and Earth Abides, but forging something new, with colorful characters, compelling scenes, and unfolding miracles."
Servant of the Underworld (2010)
(Obsidian and Blood Trilogy, book 1)
Aliette de Bodard
"An Aztec priest of the dead tries to solve a murder mystery, and finds that politics may be even more powerful than magic - a truly fresh fantasy novel."
Silver (2010)
(Ogmios Team Adventure, book 1)
Steven Savile
"SILVER is a wild combination of Indiana Jones, The Da Vinci Code, and The Omen."
Shadow Prowler (2010)
(Chronicles of Siala, book 1)
Alexey Pehov
"Shadow Prowler is a fresh, exuberant take on territory that will be familiar to all fans of classic high fantasy. Alexey Pehov introduces a cast of charming, quirky, unsavory, even loathsome characters in a fast-paced, entertaining adventure."
The Pharos Objective (2010)
(Morpheus Initiative, book 1)
David Sakmyster
"THE PHAROS OBJECTIVE is Indiana Jones meets the X-Files -- an archaeologist adventurer with psychic powers of remote viewing who can see the past, ancient treasures, historical mysteries, action and adventure that crosses the world, and a damned good story."
