Books about Mike Resnick
Mike Resnick recommends
 The Identity Plunderers (1984) (Siscoe And Block, book 1) Isidore Haiblum "A rip-roaring, hard-boiled, enjoyable space adventure." | Greenhouse (1991) (Organic Future, book 2) Thomas A Easton "Easton has created an absolutely mind-boggling future!" | Mirabile (1991) Janet Kagan "An absolute delight!" | |
Far-Seer (1992) (Quintaglio Ascension, book 1) Robert J Sawyer "Sawyer's as good at world-building as he is at telling an exciting, satisfying story." | Tropic of Creation (2000) Kay Kenyon "More proof that Kay Kenyon is a major talent." | The Risen Empire (2003) (Succession, book 1) Scott Westerfeld "The Risen Empire is proof that space opera can be as complex and sophisticated as any other form of literature." | |
Fangs and Angel Wings (2003) Karen E Taylor "I urge you to check these stories out; they're really quite remarkable." | Phobos (2003) Ty Drago "A very impressive debut novel." | Hammered (2004) (Jenny Casey, book 1) Elizabeth Bear "Very exciting... very impressive debut." | |
Brooklyn Knight (2010) (Piers Knight, book 1) C J Henderson "As urban fantasies go, Brooklyn Knight is as breathlessly exciting as they come." | Codename Prague (2011) (Scikungfi Trilogy, book 2) D Harlan Wilson "Codename Prague is a thrill-a-minute combination of James Bond, Robert Ludlum, and cyberpunk, set in a dangerous, erotic, and not-as-distant-as-you'd-wish future." | One Awake In All The World (2011) Robert T Jeschonek "Robert Jeschonek is a towering talent..." | |
Get Rufus! (2012) Bob Terrell "A delight, dishing up charm, adventure, and a delightful mountain flavor, all at the same time. Bob Terrell knows his way around a story - and there's a female mule named Fred that you're going to lose your heart to." | Jane Carver of Waar (2012) (Jane Carver, book 1) Nathan Long "If Edgar Rice Burroughs were writing today, with 21st Century skills and sensibilities, Jane Carver of Waar is the book he'd have written." |
