[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 3256777, member: 143"] My current queue: [i]Fall of Angels[/i] by L.E. Modesitt. Interesting juxtaposition of fantasy and sci-fi elements, but if you want constant action, you won't like Modesitt's style (a lot of his heroes are craftsmen who become mages, and he goes into great detail on what they build and how). The series is up to 15 books now, I think, and is set in different eras in his world's history. This one is vol. 6, and it is a "prequel" of sorts to some of the earlier books. Volume 7, [i]The Chaos Balance[/i], continues the story begun in this volume. [i]The Black Powder War[/i] by Naomi Novik. She was one of the writers behind the Neverwinter Nights add-on [i]Shadows of Undrentide[/i], and this is the third book in a very interesting series that looks at the Napoleonic Wars in an alt-history where dragons exist (and are used in warfare by the major powers). Earlier volumes are [i]His Majesty's Dragon[/i] and [i]Throne of Jade[/i]. [i]Cursor's Fury[/i] by Jim Butcher. A fantasy series by the author of [i]The Dresden Files[/i]. This is the third book in a series about a world in which most commoners have magical powers through controlling animist spirits. It suffers from a bit of the "insignificant local boy becomes a hero and shapes the world" syndrome, but overall the story holds up fairly well. Earlier books are [i]Furies of Calderon[/i] and [i]Academ's Fury[/i]. [I]Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers[/i]. This one is non-fiction and a gift; I haven't started it but I have to admit the title alone draws interest. [/QUOTE]
