Hi there. I'm looking for some recommendations for sci-fi novels. Well, actually I have never read one before so I want novels that can make a first timer interested in. Sci-fi isn't my cup of tea back then but now I'd like to read it.
Archon on rrl but it hasnt been updated for quite a while. Other then that theres on World of fel http://www.weavespinner.net/worlds_of_fel.htm
I guess you can read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card but I wouldn't go read the whole series because they are longer, and deeper into science fiction than what a person coming into it should even consider in my opinion.
I am not much of a SciFi reader myself but have recently been reading it after reading the"A Learning experience" series by Christopher Nuttall. The series I have liked are Ark Royal series by Christopher Nuttall By Jack Campbell The Lost Fleet 6 books The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier 5 books The Lost Stars 4 books J W Murison's Steven Gordon series. A G Claymore's Black Ship series. Intergalactic wizard scout chronicles by Rodney Hartman. Starship's mage series by Glynn Stewart Most recently I have read The Alexis Carew series by J A Sutherland The Alicia Jones series by D L Harrison The Athena Lee Chronicles by T S Paul (I recommend this Is read with Kindle unlimited as the books tend to be too expensive for the number of pages.)
The only thing I can remember (read some others but it's been so long ago) reading sci-fi is by David Weber - Harrington series and Safehold series.
I see. That sucks, I hope the author comes back. I read mostly novels with medieval settings and there are some in the modern world but never futuristic Thanks, I'll be checking those then Me too Thanks for the suggestion man
Diamond Age: A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. Female lead, lots of character development, main tech is nano-technology. This Alien Shore. Female lead, fair amount of action, lots of psychology stuff, but it always felt relevant and never felt like someone was trying to disguise a psychology dissertation as a story, main technical focus is on hacking. Anne McCaffery's Pern books. Its a sci-fi take on a world with dragons. I personally don't like her take on female protagonists, but as long as you can look past that, they're fairly good books. Protagonist gender varies by the book if I recall correctly. Phule's Company series. Smart male lead. Mostly an action comedy with a focus on clever use and development of military forces, finances and influence. Forty Millenniums of Cultivation. Its more of a hybrid of sci-fi and xianxia. Male lead, good world building. Tempest of the Stellar War. Another sci-fi/xianxia hybrid, but this one leans more towards sci-fi than FMoC. Card Disciple. Another hybrid, similar to FMoC, but more focused on crafting. No updates in 3 months, so I'll be heading over to the novel pick-up forum to make a post after this.
Isaac Asimov's works are classics, particularly the Foundation Trilogy which I think is the first serious sci-fi work I read when young
