 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 984780


It's more than a trilogy, there must be about 12 of them. After the elder Herbert died, his son used his notes and took over and started writing prequels.

But, yeah, if you like sci-fi, Dune is the ultimate. Start with Dune (not the prequels).

oh HELL yea! Eon is one of my favorite books ever! good call bad moon!!!!

a lot of greg bear's work is supurb. moving mars and blood music are also both amazing!

one of the best books i have ever read is the dream quest of unknown kadath by h.p. lovecraft. check it out!
as the pattern gets more intricate and subtle, being swept along is no longer enough.

For Love of Evil by Piers Anthony...in fact, I would go out and get the entire Incarnations of Immortality series and give them a read, I think there's 7 books in all, they are:

(in no order)

On a Pale Horse (Death)
Bearing an Hourglass (Time)
Being a Green Mother (Nature)
With a Tangled Skein (Fate)
Wielding a Red Sword (War)
For Love of Evil (Satan)
...And Eternity (God)

Great read! Charlemagne, French revolution, Magic Chess sets, Good vs. Evil, A chess match through history.

The River God by Wilbur Smith

- A novel of ancient Egypt - I could not put it down! has a nice twist at the end.


Have Fun!

A trilogy of sci-fi fiction.

The third in the series got rave reviews, like you can't put it down because it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Fingerprints of the Gods... Graham Hancock. Excellent. (Non-fiction, however, and not the lightest read around.)

As are the Incarnations of Immortality series. Haven't read Eon yet... looks like I'll have to take a run at it!

I've read most of the books mentioned here. I'm surprised there's one not mentioned.

If you want a great sci-fi page turner that will refuse to be put down its gotta be "Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card.

Super fun read. About the same level as battlefield earth(book) not the movie, However For a true nerd I recommend "The Moon is a harsh mistress" by the same author as "Stranger in a strange land".Robert Heinlein, i think.

Tesla was A great source of inspiration and the subject is well published.

You need more money.
