[QUOTE="Imhotepthewise, post: 515837, member: 976"] You asked my opinion. None below will win a literature award. They are just what I like. I also agree with many other authors others have suggested, but will not repeat them. Norman, John (please don't bother to flame: this is one of MY favorites, doesn't have to be yours). Get out your highlighter and eliminate any paragraphs that deal with a woman's natural inclination for slavery. Read the rest. A large story arc about the fall from one's ideals and realizing that to survive against the worst of enemies, a person must see themselves for what they really are. When times are bad, I read favorite sections of several of the novels. The battle on the Central Cylinder with Pa-Kur in Tarnsman. The Battle of Turia in Nomads. The Ubar's Race in Assassin. The sea battle with Cos and Tyros in Raiders. The stockade of Sarus in Hunters. All of Marauders. Alan Burt Akers/Dray Prescot - A fantasy world that’s full and interesting. Dray is a paladin in spite of himself. Fun. Edgar Rice Burroughs - Mars, Venus, Africa, etc. Lots of kewl ideas without any base in logic. Again, Fun. Poul Anderson (R.I.P.) - Hrolf Kraki's Saga is another story I read for inspiration. Great heroes with great faults. Master of Five Magics. Can't remember the author off the top of my head. Robert Adams. Horseclans. Lots of genres combined for some entertaining, sometimes repetitive, stories. Great characters, great fun. [/QUOTE]
