#introduction 3! I AM ALSO EXTREMELY INTO.... #books and #reading. I particularly enjoy #SciFi and #HardScienceFiction / #HardSciFi - generally anything by #JoeHaldeman #JohnScalzi #DennisETaylor #MarkoKloos #PoulAnderson #AndyWeir #AdrianTchaikovsky. I would absolutely LOVE it if people suggested books to me as I'm not very good at finding ones I like. The #Bobiverse series was probably my most favourite recent read. Again I welcome interaction about this.

Poul Anderson’s Virgin Planet (1959). An astronaut is marooned on a planet inhabited entirely by women. With speculations on the different ways in which such a society could evolve. Surprisingly, not played for the sleaze angle. A fine novel.

Poul Anderson’s delirious science fiction romp The High Crusade was published in 1960.

Earth in the year 1345 is invaded by an advanced alien race with super-weapons. They are opposed by mounted knights and bowmen. The result is a massacre. The aliens are routed.

It gets steadily more clever and more witty and more crazy.

Another of my obsessions is sword-and-planet fiction. Edgar Rice Burroughs, Leigh Brackett, Poul Anderson and Catherine L. Moore's Northwest Smith stories being my favourites. Sword-and-planet fiction is basically sword-and-sorcery with science fiction elements in place of magic.

Swordsmen from the Stars collects three of Poul Anderson's early sword-and-sorcery tales (although really sword-and-planet tales). Hugely enjoyable stories of adventure and romance, with a bit of subtlety and some economical but interesting world-building. Witch of the Demon Seas is particularly good, with a pirate mixed up with a beautiful dangerous and possibly evil woman.

I'm also Extremely Into #ScienceFiction #SciFi #HardSciFi #HardScienceFiction #Books

During lockdown I rediscovered my love of reading - fortunately stumbling across #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar, which I loved and reminded a bit me of the #JoeHaldeman #ForeverWar series. Which led me to the #Bobiverse books by #DennisETaylor which I LOVED. I'm looking for suggestions. Currently on #TermsOfEnlistment by #MarkoKloos & enjoying so far. I like #AndyWeir, #PoulAnderson and I'll always read anything in the #Dune universe. Really liked #ChildrenOfTime, #ChildrenOfRuin & #DogsOfWar / #BearHead by #AdrianTchaikovsky. Enjoyed #TheThreeBodyProblem, but The Dark Forest has left me in the weeds a bit (will return for another go at some point). Genuinely looking for suggestions!
