Poul Anderson recommends
Noise (2003)
Hal Clement
"For well over half a century, Hal Clement has been a towering, even decisive figure in our special literature."
Shadow of the Seer (2001)
(Winter of the World, book 6)
Michael Scott Rohan
"Scott Rohan has an extraordinary gift for making every scene come to life with vivid reality."
The King's Peace (2000)
(Tir Tanagiri, book 1)
Jo Walton
"The King's Peace beautifully and thought-provokingly tells a story set in a world and a history almost like ours, but different enough to be in itself a kind of elvenland. It's good to know that there will be more."
