Unearthed Talent
Achievements (1)
Isaac Asimov. Greatest scifi writer of all time. Everybody knows the Foundation series Im sure, but the last book (completed just weeks before his death I believe) was phenomenal. His greatest work is by far The Gods Themselves (and is hilarious when taken into the context of people complaining that he never wrote about sex). But it doesnt matter whether its fact of fiction, his books are very well written and very engaging.
Others... Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks, still ambivalent about the current series he is writting. Good but no comparison.
The Starman and Persimius Series by Sara Douglass (sadly another author who passed before the stories were truly done).
Saga of Seven Suns by Kevin J Anderson who also writes star wars novel (I think) and Children of Dune with Dune author's son (I think).
Trinity trilogy by Fiona McIntosh.
Ofcourse, who could forget Juliett Marillier. Bridei Series is the flagship in my eyes but sevenwaters series, and well basically all of them are pretty good.
Rachel Vincent's Werecat series is very good.
Memory by Linda Negata is pretty good as well and somewhat off the beaten path.
Godspeaker sereies by karen Miller.
The Eragon series by Paolini.
And stepping away from scifi-fant... I like most of Clancy (although sometimes overated) and Geofrey Archer. Older Dale Brown stuff was ok too until it all become about the lasers and automated missiles and just too much scifi.
Dov Silverman, Tairo (and the follow ones that I cant recall the name of) are very good, set in pre-WWII through to the end of the war in Japan, following the story of a couple of generations of a family.
Then I just have a mess of single titles that I have come across in op-shops and what not (my god, every op-shop is stacked with Geofrey Archer and Tom Clancy, lol).

Yes I have a wall of books and no it isn't growing fast enough.
