Sci Fi Authors stories  (written please!)

Later we can chose Fantasy, war, etc.........

Chose your top three!

I would select 3 BUT not everyone read Sci Fi and many don't know about several authors as well.


And if you like include a runner up by the same author...

I'll start with 3 of my favorites BUT I have many more!

Gordon R. Dickson

"The Dragon and the George"  and the other books in the series.

L. Neil Smith

"The Probablity Broach"

H. Beam Piper

"Lord Kalvin of Otherwhen"
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

As I normally don't like Sci-Fi books I can only say Arthur C. Clarke.

I've tried to read various Sci-Fi books but Clarke's are the only ones I've finished.

Generally, Sci-Fi writers bore me to tears.  Fantasy writers, too.

Jules Verne, Rod Serling, Josh Whedon
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
