I'm planning to re-read either the first few Anita Blake books before they totally delved into deviant sex, the Area 51 series or The Lost Regiement series by William R. Forstchen. Although on the last one I can't find my books any more and will need to reorder them. Can't even remember which book is the first one in that series.
 


Psychotic Dreamer, if you like the Anita Blake books, but want a little less weird sex, you might want to try Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series (starts with Storm Front) -- modern day wizard, helps solves crimes, etc. I actually prefer Butcher to Hamilton, but that is more a minor matter of taste. As a friend of mine says, "They pull from the same crowd, but Jim is for the boys and Laurel is for the girls, with a lot of crossover". Kinda sums it up... :)
 


Just finished The Alienist, the 19th-century murder mystery, Los Alamos, a Manhatten Project murder mystery, Wayfarer Redemption, the first in some big honkin' series by Sara Douglass, and now am messing with The Swordsman's Oath, the second book in a series of which I read the first book quite some time ago and wasn't wowed -- but when I saw the second book in the used bookstore, I thought it was worth it to give it another shot.

Wayfarer Redemption has issues. I'll bring 'em up in another thread.

Sounds interesting. If my financial situation allows for it I'll be ordering this book either this week or next. Probably get the first two books just to be safe. :)
