    I am about to head to the library and would like some names to look up( because my usual authors the closest library seems to be lacking).

    So hurry, and provide some names.

        David Weber, the Honor Harrington series.
        I might as well just save you all the trouble... Ming is a bastard, Ming es un bastardo, Ming est un bâtard, Ming è un bastardo, Mingus bastardus est, Ming ist ein Mistkerl, Ming jest bêkartem, Ming är en horunge, Ming korcs, O Ming ine bastarthos, Ming on rakastajani...
        and if you don't understand any of these... Ming. Bastard is he. yesssss.

          Hmm, this will be hard (because I read a lot and have read all that is mentioned here, well not all there works, but enough that I am familiar with them (David Weber I have only read a couple of because the last Honor book sort of sucked))

          Thanks for the suggestions though

            Oh oh read my book! It's not published and it's not finished, but I just completed Part I of a three Part book so at least it's a whole story.

            Sorry, I can't give real suggestions right now. I'm sorta stuck on Asimov and me right now.

                David Brin - Startide Rising. That simple. I have a very faint hunch that you've already read it, though.

                  Anything by Greg Egan... very good hardcore sci-fi.

                  J. Sawyer is good also, he writes soft sci-fi. Good author, a Canadian to boot. A good book is "End of an Era", or "Frameshift".

                    Walter Jon Willaims (Aristoi, Voice of the Whirlwind, Hard Wired, Metropolis, etc)

                    Vernor Vinge (Fire on the Deep, etc)

                    David Brin (Uplift)

                    Heinlein (The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, many others)

                    Bradbury (many, many, many books)

                    Asimov (ditto)

                    Should be a good start.

                            thanks all, heading to the library now

                            I think I have read all the author suggested, but maybe it is time to try them again (it has been over a year since I read Asmov)

                            (the only author listed above I do not think I read is Walter Jon Willaims)

                            peace out
