Wasn't that the flying animals that the Senchean use?

Just one to go now. It looks like he may not last too long, as he has talked about who would finish the last book for him if he does die. :( forbes publishing house article

I loved Firefly, and Serenity. It seems all the TV shows, (of which there are less than a handful) I watch get cancelled! :(

Don't worry about it so much, for those with a strong faith in their beliefs a few jokes should be water off a ducks back. If not then re-examine your faith. Make fun of my beliefs any day of the week. :) Saying that there is this book, a bit long, but it's about a man with magical powers...

Dead Can Dance absolutely fantastic, I recommend you check it out http://www.deadcandance.com/ wiki is here

Stumbled on this thread and went to google, and ended up here. Jim Butchers website and read the first 2 chapters of the first in the Dresden files. The writing style is very easy to read, and the plot sounds quite enjoyable, as long as it's not Dark Angel or Buffy I will give it a go. Time...

I've been waiting for Memorial Day to come down in price, probably get it on ebook, is it worth a read or has Flynn succumbed to the 'formula'?

Peter F. Hamilton's Nightsdawn Trilogy, definately this one, or his other books. Also have a look at Arthur C Clarke He has written some truly great novels, if you like Ringworld, try the Rama Series of books, or Imperial Earth. I read his books in my youth, not all of them as he has over 70...

Very sad news. Jim Baen created the publishing house Baen Books and discovered such scifi writers as David Drake, Eric Flint, David Weber and Elizabeth Moon. Baen Books has published such authors as Anne McCaffrey, Piers Anthony, SM Stirling, Larry Niven ........................... and so...

Dead can dance ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

whoooooooooops. Launched the wrong thread, saw GRRM's name and went off half cocked in the wrong direction. Admins, any chance you can move this to a RJ thread? Here

GRRM IS POTENTIALLY TERMINALLY ILL.:( Not good to here of this about anyone. Lets hope the treatment is successful, here is the link. This info doesn't jump out of the web, you have to be quite specific in your search

His first 6 books were written as a part time writter, his latest is as a full time writer. I'll have to get this one at some point to compare them, i am expecting more depth and twisting plots

I have the same irritation, I actually write down what is in the series and then go hunting for them, Finding Number 1 in the series is normally very hard to find. Book shops always have number 2 and 3 in the series, only occassionally number 1. Hope this helps

JB writes the fight scenes how I would imagine it works, eg the mage stands behind the fighters and castes a missile shield to prevent them getting shot by arrows, the spell requires the mage to continually concentrate on it preventing the mage casting other spells. The group then moves forward...

If you are looking for magic used in battles / skirmishes, then check out James Barclays books. He melds swords / bow and arrows etc with defensive and offensive battle magic. Check his website for info on his books, http://www.jamesbarclay.com/

Definately as they are a continuation from one to the other

I have not read his latest, but the first couple were excellent, the next 2 were good but the last one I read (No,5) was following a formula. They are real page turners, I'd recommend them
