Robert J Sawyer recommends
To Each This World (2022)Julie E Czerneda"The search for the 21st-century's Larry Niven is now officially over. Julie E. Czerneda gives us a galaxy-spanning vision of credible aliens and high-stakes conflict. A wonderful book." Hot Moon (2022)(Apollo Rising, book 1)Alan Smale"Alan Smale is one of the brightest stars in the hard-SFfirmament, and Hot Moon is his best novel yet. Enjoy!" Glow (2021)(Glow, book 1)Tim Jordan"Tim Jordan's Glow is a terrific read from a major new voice. A first-rate novel; I was enthralled." Threader Origins (2021)(Ouantum Empirica, book 1)Gerald Brandt"Gerald Brandt knocks it out of the park again! Quantum physics, parallel worlds, and a rip-roaring plotwhat more could you want? In some reality, this book will win major awards not just because all quantum possibilities do occur but because it bloody well deserves to." The Alpha Enigma (2020)(Team PSI, book 1)W Michael Gear"What a ride! Excitement, adventure, and intrigue, all told in W. Michael Gear's vivid, compulsively readable prose. A terrific new science-fiction series; Gear hits a home run right out of the park and all the way to Capella." Freedom's Last Gasp (2020)(Exodus , book 2)M A Rothman"Who says hard science fiction is dead? The field is safe and sound in the hands of Michael Rothman. Real science from a real scientist..." The Pursuit of the Pankera (2020)Robert Heinlein"The Pursuit of the Pankera is old-school Heinlein: the writer we all loved taking us on one more great ride. For those of us with a fondness for the rollicking Heinlein of the early days, with larger-than-life oh-so-competent characters and snappy, just-this-side-of-screwball-comedy dialog, this lost gem is a must." Rejoice (2018)Steven Erikson"Steven Erikson hasn't just reinvigorated the first-contact novel, he's reinvented it. This is a wholly original book, brilliantly conceived and flawlessly executed, with a fascinating central conceit related to curbing human violence. And, for once, we have a novel set in a world in which not only does the science-fiction genre exist but it's respected. A masterpiece." Black Chamber (2018)(Alternate World War, book 1)S M Stirling"Nobody carries a bigger stick in the alternate-history game than S.M.Stirling." The Genius Plague (2017)David Walton"David Walton is one of our very best writers of science-fiction thrillers, and The Genius Plague is a triumph from first page to last. This one will stick with you." Escape Velocity (2017)Ron S Friedman"Ron Friedman is a terrific writer. I've watched with pleasure and admiration as he's grown over the years since the days when he was my writing student. Canada has yet to produce its counterpart to Larry Niven, but Ron's well on his way to filling that role." Strangers Among Us (2016)Susan Forest and Lucas K Law
"Strangers Among Us... is important, shining a much-needed spotlight on issues that get far too little attention. A wonderful anthology, one of the major SF&F books of the year. Bravo!." Transgalactic (2016)(Transcendental Machine, book 2)James Gunn"A tight, fierce novel from one of the field's giants." The Ultra Thin Man (2014)(Union of Worlds, book 1)Patrick Swenson"Patrick Swenson keeps the pages turning in this slick, clever noir novel. Wonderful world-building, a terrific read, and an auspicious debut: truly the stuff that dreams are made of." Edge (2010)(Josh Cumberland, book 1)Thomas Blackthorne (
John Meaney)
"A spectacular writer." Gaslight Grimoire (2009)Jeff Campbell and Charles Prepolec
"A wonderful addition to the bookshelf of any fan of Sherlock Holmes or of the supernatural. Terrific stories, great variety, genuine chills: it's all here." Plague Year (2007)(Plague , book 1)Jeff Carlson"Jeff Carlson is a terrific writer and Plague Year is a marvelous book, full of memorable characters, white-knuckle scenes, and big ideas. Get in on the ground floor with this exciting new author." Birthstones (2007)Phyllis Gotlieb"Phyllis Gotlieb is the grand dame of Canadian SF, a poet with a cosmic perspective who elevates space opera to high art." Omnifix (2004)Scott MacKay"This is a terrific book from first page to last: big ideas, believable characters, great action - it's all here." The Runelords (1998)The Sum of All Men
(Runelords, book 1)David Farland"David Farland is a consummate stylist, and his characters are so alive they walk right off the page. The Runelords is a wonderful fantasy novel." Overshoot (1998)Mona Clee"Clee writes beautiful, poetic prose about hard and dangerous events." Night Sky Mine (1996)Melissa Scott"William Gibson meets Samuel R Delany! Melissa Scott's Night Sky Mine is her best book yet, with first rate world building and first rate storytelling." More recommendations Anthologies containing stories by Robert J Sawyer
