Answer 2

I would say Piers Anthony, but someone else suggested them, you could also try Ann McCafferty, the Rowen Series ( ie The Rowan, Damia, Damia's Children, Lyon's Pride, The Hive and the Tower) or the Brainship series ( ie The Ship who Sang, The Partnership, The Ship who Searched, The City who Fought, The ship who won, The Errant Ship, and The Ship avenged) Tamara Pierce is good with Magic and fantasy adventure. David Webber has the Honer Harrington series. they are Space Navy stories. There are so many possibilities, i have bookshelf's full of books that i read and reread all the time, i am always at the Library as well.

Answer 3

Wen Spencer wrote Tinker and Wolf Who Rules which are really a combination of sci-fi and fantasy. I read both of these books recently and really enjoyed them.

This is the review I did of Tinker on amazon.com:

"Tinker is an inventor and a girl genius who lives in Pittsburgh. But it's not the Pittsburgh you and I would be familiar with. It's a Pittsburgh which has been pulled into another dimension called Elfhome, complete with elves. During a "shutdown" where Pittsburgh is temporarily returned to Earth an elvish noble is chased into Tinker's scrapyard chased by a number of huge doglike animals called Wargs. Tinker knows the noble as Windwolf, the elf who had years before saved Tinker's life and cursed her with a life debt thus entertwining their destinies together. Realizing that Windwolf being killed in her scrapyard would be really bad for her as well Tinker pulls out all the stops (not to mention her entire home) to save his life.

I found Tinker to be a very enjoyable science fiction/fantasy story. Although I couldn't begin to keep up with the science/mathmatical part of it that was Tinker's guiding light I found that not understanding didn't detract from the adventure. Tinker was a very strong central female character which I found very compelling. I loved how Tinker was always saving the lives of the men around her, and they didn't feel threatened because of it.

Before I picked Tinker up it had been a long while since I had read any books classified as science fiction. I couldn't have asked for a better re-introduction to this genre. If you like fast paced fantasies with a bit of humor I would definately recommend Tinker as a top pick."

I won't list the review I did for Wolf Who Rules because it assumes you've already read Tinker and could potentially spoil the first book.

Answer 4

I just finished book four in Stephen Donaldson's Gap series; they're plotty and exciting and edge of your seat imaginative space sci-fi reading. Hard sci-fi mixed with some intricate characterizations, and everyone has a scheme. There are five books in the series, and Donaldson says he had a sort of framework based on The Ring of the Nibelungen, the saga of the Norse Gods...a real epic tale so far. If that's what you're looking for...

Oh yeah, they have lots of bad language, violence and some sex of a violent sort, just to warn you. But it has been a good story so far, really engaging. (I'm the sort who can look past violence and heavy swearing if it fits the story, and it does in this case.)

Answer 5

1. The Book of Three
2. The Black Cauldron
3. The Castle of Llyr

Answer 7
