 | Primary Inversion by Catherine Asaro
Buy new: £3.99 / Used from: £0.04 The first in a terrific series - I don't think the author knows what over-achievement means! She's a physicist, dancer, wife - or you name she does it and she writes wonderfully
|
 | Cordelia's Honor (Hugo Winners) (Miles Vorkosigan Adventures) by Lois McMaster Bujold
Buy new: £5.09 / Used from: £2.75 I like to start at the beginning of things so this is another first book in an award-winning series - great characters
|
 | The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham
Buy used from: £0.01 An oldie - but it's a classic
|
 | Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke
Buy used from: £19.98 An unusual Clarke book - moving - what happens at the end of time - if you haven't read any of his others - read this one.
|
 | The Crystal Singer Omnibus by Anne McCaffrey
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £3.00 These are available separately but this is a great value set - my orignal hardbacks have long since fallen apart - Probably my 'desert island' Mccaffrey. Gives literal meaning to the term Space Opera!
|
 | Dragonflight (Corgi Science-Fiction) by Anne McCaffrey
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 Had to include this - just on the off-chance that there is someone on the planet who hasn't read them - this is the first.
|
 | A Wrinkle in Time (Puffin Modern Classics) by Madeleine L'Engle
Buy new: £5.24 / Used from: £0.48 Just a personal favourite and well worth the read.
|
 | High Wizardry (Young Wizards) by Diane Duane
Buy new: £4.27 / Used from: £0.01 A 'young adults' book - great to get kids into sci-fi or fun for an adult who wants a light but very clever read - a young femals wizard with an Apple powerbook that breaks lightspeed and spellcasts!
|
 | Job: A Comedy of Justice by Robert A. Heinlein
Buy used from: £0.01 An old favourite - you'll get it from the USA site or Z-shops but it's often out of print in the UK
|
 | The End of Eternity (Panther Science Fiction) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: £4.85 / Used from: £0.01 Classic time-travel with a twist from the master
|
 | The Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove
Buy new: £9.99 / Used from: £8.30 A genuinely clever slant on time travel - what would really happen, even with vanloads of AK47's as opposed to the fantasy of popping back with one machine gun and killing a historical figure

Listmania!
