Just started reading #DavidWeber #spaceopera #honorharrington series and I am obsessed! Love a good female lead in a #scifi book.

So I'm reading #KingsFall by @EvanCurrie . About 56% into the book and I find myself pondering #ChekhovsGun. Especially the consequences of I don't want to put this down.

If you are a fan of #MilitarySciFi or even #DavidWeber and @HonorHarrington you must read the #OdysseyOne series. #bookstodon #scifi

Ok, so I have read my David Weber "Dahak" series books a few too many times now, and I am curious if there are any other #SciFiBooks out there with self-aware AI planetoid size battleships. Christmas break is coming up, and I need a break.

@Melody_M As an #SF&F author, I've got some opinions about books in the genre!

I am not seeing all the replies, but I know someone recommended On Basilisk Station by #DavidWeber. This starts a fabulous space opera series with the main character a young naval officer named #HonorHarrington. The spin-offs are good, too. Your profile indicates some military background, so you'll appreciate it more. With a name like "Honor," you can bet ethics and principles come up a lot, and how this conflicts with winning or whether your side is good or bad. The subtext highlights the tensions between western cultures in our age, and how modern nations may look the same if you look at their cities—but Germany, the US, UAE, and Saudi Arabia are quite different when you look closer, and so is how they express their might.

For pure fantasy, assuming you're new to the genres, why not find #AnneMcCaffery's Dragon series? The spin-offs are good, if you can't get enough. I like #AndreNorton, but her series are retro and may be harder to find than Anne's, with some not in print.

For #urbanfantasy and books you can buy now, I cannot recommend #PatricaBriggs Mercy Thompson series enough. #Fairies, #Werewolves, and #Vampires coming out to modern society (mostly) and in a way that feels visceral and real. Romance, adventure, and coming of age.

As a #ClarionWest grad, I'd like to recommend two of my cohort to you, not just because I now them, but they're stories are amazing—and they are great human beings.

James S.A. Corey (1/2 a pen name for #DanielAbraham). The #Expanse series is hardcore SF at its #Heinlein best. Peak at Daniel's fantasy book, too! Look for the third name he publishes under, and you'll find great, snarky, urban fantasy. References to #PinkMartini, anyone?

#DianaRowland writes urban fantasy, but with the background of a former police officer (I think she made detective). Start with My Life as a White Trash Zombie for a #zombie coroner. Maybe a conflict of interest there? Start with Mark of the Demon for a #demon summoner who's also a detective, with, again, some conflicts of interest. Adventure, mystery, and romance, too.

If someone asks nicely, I may recommend my book.

Add your comments too!

@PaulRich see.. that's where I have a problem. I'm a huge fan of #HonorHarrington by #DavidWeber and he's totally changed how I see space battles. Ships should be so far apart you couldn't see them with just your eyes. Missiles taking a long time to reach you. Sort of like modern sea battles, I guess. and, based on Ender's game (books) - at least 1 ship should be upside down! 😃 ha! I love geeking out. But this is such a beautiful pic.. what is the background?
