However if you are new to the genre here are a few suggestions that might get you started:<br /><br />Veering towards the Sci fi end:<br /><br />Peter Hamilton's "Nights Dawn Trilogy" is really excellent<br /><br />I am also a sucker for anything written by Iain M. Banks (Culture series)<br /><br />Veering towards the Fantasy end:<br />George RR Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" is very good plus it's on the telly. <br /><br />Probably the most complete Fantasy epic out there is The Wheel of Time by the late Robert Jordan. It is frustratingly log (13 books so far and one more to come being written posthumously) but it is worth it imho.mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-8059426729804168442011-06-07T15:30:37.068+00:002011-06-07T15:30:37.068+00:00The terms "adult" and "mature"...The terms "adult" and "mature" have become synonymous with "trashy" and "lewd," haven't they?<br /><br />Which book is your favorite?
