[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 440996, member: 7533"] A few of my personal favorites... [list] [*]Isaac Asimov's little-known "Lucky Starr" series. The first one or two are a little weird, but stick with them... It's Pulp Sci-fi at its best. Very "Buck Rogers". [list=1][*][i]David Starr[/i], Space Ranger (1952) [*][i]Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids[/i] (1953) [*][i]Lucky Starr and the Oceans of Venus[/i] (1954) [*][i]Lucky Starr and the Big Sun of Mercury[/i] (1956) [*][i]Lucky Starr and the Moons of Jupiter[/i] (1957) [*][i]Lucky Starr and the Rings of Saturn[/i] (1958) [/list] [*]Anything by Asimov, really. The "Foundation" series, and the "Robot" series are especially good. [*]Andre Norton's "Solar Queen" series. All about a company of space-going "free traders" on the frontier of the galaxy. [list=1][*][i]Sargasso of Space[/i] (1955) [as Andrew North] [*][i]Plague Ship[/i] (1956) [as Andrew North] [*][i]Voodoo Planet[/i] (1959) [as Andrew North] [*][i]Postmarked the Stars[/i] (1969) [*][i]Redline the Stars[/i] (1993) with P. M. Griffin [*][i]Derelict for Trade[/i] (1997) with Sherwood Smith [*][i]A Mind For Trade[/i] (1997) with Sherwood Smith [/list] [*][i]Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?[/i], by Philip K. Dick. A great movie (Blade Runner) made from an excellent book. [*][i]The Postman[/i], by David Brin. A mediocre movie made from an excellent book. [*][i]Starship Troopers[/i], by Robert A. Heinlein. A bad movie made from an excellent book. [*]Anything by Heinlein, really. Try them all, some are weirder than others. [*]I'll second the "Stainless Steel Rat" books. Without a doubt [i]The Stainless Steel Rat Saves the World[/i] had perhaps the best time travel scenario I've ever seen. [*][i]Make Room! Make Room![/i], also by Harry Harrison. It's the book the movie Soylent Green was based off of. No, it's not really green, and it's not made from people. [/list] I'll have to go home and take a look at my bookshelves, then I'll have a few more suggestions for you. [/QUOTE]
