![]() | The Farseer 1.Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £5.19 / Used from: £1.06 Best fantasy series I've read; follow this with Royal Assassin and Assasin's Quest and then...
|
![]() | The Liveship Traders 1: Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.20 Didn't think RH could top the Farseer Trilogy, but this is fantasy of a different kind. Also The Mad Ship and Ship of Destiny
|
![]() | Neverness by David Zindell
Buy used from: £0.01 Philosophy meets mathematics; intelligent sci-fi without the techno-babble. Zindell followed it up with the Requiem for HomoSapiens trilogy
|
![]() | Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos) by Dan Simmons
Buy used from: £0.01 Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion. My favourite sci-fi series - with the possible exception of...

Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 followed by Chasm City, Redemption Ark, Diamond Dogs/Turquoise Days, Absolution Gap
|
![]() | Wolf's Brother by Megan Lindholm
Buy new: £3.50 / Used from: £0.01 Change of tone. This and The Reindeer People are a nice duo from the woman who would become Robin Hobb!
|
![]() | The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 The only King book that feels as good now as it did when I was 14. Easy to read, rather lovely.
|
![]() | The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Bk. 1 (Dark Tower) by Stephen King
Buy new: £2.85 / Used from: £0.50 Of course, that was before I discovered the Dark Tower! Forget everything else King has ever written - the remaining two are due this year.
|
![]() | Daggerspell (Deverry) by Katharine Kerr
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.99 Daggerspell, Darkspell, Dawnspell, Dragonspell - then: A Time of... Exile, Omens, War, Justice. And then some more!!
|
![]() | Fallen Dragon by Peter F. Hamilton
Buy new: £3.57 / Used from: £0.37 Didn't think Peter F. Hamilton could do himself justice in just one short novel, but I loved this. Last few pages made me grin like crazy
|
![]() | Sword of Truth (The Sword of Truth) by Terry Goodkind
Buy used from: £91.18 What great value! Then get Temple of the Winds, Soul of the Fire, Faith of the Fallen, Pillars of Creation, Naked Empire
|
![]() | Sword in the Storm (The Rigante Series) by David Gemmell
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.77 This and Midnight Falon are very old-world Celtic; Ravenheart and Stormrider pick up the story a few hundred years on. Interesting.
|
![]() | Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist
Buy new: £4.10 / Used from: £0.01 Daughter / Servant / Mistress - based on Feist's Magician but more involving in my opinion - who knew politics could be fun!
|
![]() | The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever: "Lord Foul's Bane", "Illearth War" and "Power That Preserves" (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant) by Stephen Donaldson
Buy new: £11.89 / Used from: £4.99 The classics are the best, aren't they? Deliciously dark and un-fantasy fantasy. Second trilogy left me a little disappointed, but glad it was there.
|
![]() | The Real Story (Gap) by Stephen Donaldson
Buy used from: £0.01 This book is rather rubbish! Don't let that put you off - the others are fantastic: Gap into... Vision, Power, Madness, Ruin
|
![]() | The Player of Games (The Culture) by Iain M. Banks
Buy new: £2.97 / Used from: £1.00 I loved the way 'The Game' felt so real, even though it was only sketched out. Use of Weapons was equally brilliant
|
![]() | Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 This and Long Dark Teatime of the Soul - Hitchhiker's what, now?!
|
![]() | Gridlinked by Neal Asher
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.50 Not perfect, but Mr Crane is a chilling creation. Would benefit from a second read, though
|
![]() | The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children) by Jean M Auel
Buy new: £3.51 / Used from: £0.08 Less 'fantasy', but all the more interesting for showing glimpses of our own deep past
|
![]() | Mort (Discworld Novel) by Terry Pratchett
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.20 Not necessarily my all time favourite Discworld book, but the one I recommend to newcomers to the series
|
![]() | Good Omens by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.72 The M1 is a giant, demonic symbol... didn't you always just expect something like that?
