Terry Brooks recommends
The Best of Lester Del Rey (1978) Lester del Rey "Lester Del Ray was celebrated so widely as an editor that we tend to forget how good he was at storytelling. This collection will help us all remember." | The Fellowship of the Talisman (1978) Clifford D Simak "Intriguing mixture of fantasy, theology and legend, it's pages are colored by those delightful characters that are the author's trademark, clifford Simak's latest tale works it's own enchantment on the reader." | Warrior (1990) (Gan Moondark, book 1) Donald E McQuinn "Terrific...Warrior deserves to be read." |

I stayed up late and finished it. If any writer knows how to keep you up, it's Owl Goingback. He remains one of our most accomplished writers of horror fiction." |
Captain Nemo (2002) Kevin J Anderson "A swashbuckling mix of Verne, Defoe and Crichton." | Atlantis Gate (2002) (Atlantis, book 4) Greg Donegan "SPELLBINDING! Will keep you on the edge of your seat.
