I'm on book 5 of the J.N. Chaney series "Renegade Star". I have really enjoyed it. Just a lot of fun and a great adventure traveling through space.

"bookmarking"

Recent decent books that I liked:

"Beneath A Scarlet Sky," Mark Sullivan chronicles the life of Pino Lella, a 17-year-old boy who grew into a man during the last years of World War II.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

Currently reading Quantum Time. It's the third (really the 4th) in a series by Douglas Phillips. Really good stuff dealing with the absolute weirdness of the quantum universe, multiple dimensions, aliens, etc..

Just re-read the Forever War recently and decided to pick up the sequel Forever Free. Different type of story than the original with some random bits at the end that apparently pissed some people off. Still has overall good reviews though.

I also recently read The Library at Mount Char. Not really fantasy or sci-fi, but somewhat related. Some label it as New Weird. Messed up at times, but I still enjoyed it overall.

Brian McClellan has a new book coming out soon. He wrote the fantastic Powder Mage series

I just finished the Broken Earth series by NK Jemisen on audiobook. Told from an interesting perspective about human-like beings who can control the ground/earth. They are feared and ostrasized by "normal" people but turn out to be the only ones who can save the world from "fifth seasons". Its a trilogy so not too long and fairly fast paced.

Kind of late in the day but if anyone reads Brian McClellan and his Powder Mage books, today is his birthday and he is giving away a novels from the series.

I recommend a series starting with Cephrael's Hand by Melissa McPhail. Only 5 of 7 books out so far but great series.

What other lesser known authors or series have you ladies and chaps come across?

Fan of David Welch. Most of his are availible on Amazon unlimited with Kindle. I buy them now to support. Chaos Quarter series is solid sf. Fireflyish, but not exaxtly. Like most all of his other stuff as well,only one so far that I didn't finish.

Recently took a nostalgic spin back through some of the Pern books. Classic solid stuff.

Raymond Feist has a new series out, 2 books so far. Solid as well.

Dune by Frank Herbert

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein

Ringworld (But all of Known Space really) by Larry Niven

Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Absolutely tore through it twice now.
