Happy, happy, happy post! Am currently rereading the Chaneur Legacy series -- haven't yet read ALL of her work, but I, too, am deeply grateful she's so prolific, and Downbelow Station is next.

Thank You, L2!

Thanks, L2! I had meant to do a brief post about her blog and forgot. I'll add it to a future link round up. I hear she's soliciting for visitors to hang out with her there.

David Weber is another one I always wait for - and Kevin Anderson as well.

Thanks for another super post, Z! And I too am keeping track of the books being mentioned.

Back in the day I'd read anything by Frederik Pohl. Loved his stuff, especially the Heechee saga.

These days, I'm just planning to read it all. There are so many good stories.

Moth - Her endings are usually upbeat, but what comes before "The End" can be extremely grim.

I'm taking notes on authors (and their backlists) recommended in this thread. Ya never know when I might need another author to obsess on. And dang, Conni, I love the idea of a shelf just for my Cherryh collection.

I read RIMRUNNERS a long time ago and loved it, but I can't begin to explain why Cherryh fell off my radar. (hangs head in shame) Bad Cathy! Thanks for the reminder.

I'd have to say Elizabeth Moon. I'd heard about her years ago as an author who wrote great military science fiction with strong female characters, but hadn't come across her books. Well, recently when looking for some great SF reads I searched out her name online and decided to start with the first book of her Vatta series, Trading In Danger. Once I'd read that, I purchased the rest of the series, five book in all, and recently completed the final one. Now, I've got to see what other series she has out. I am hooked!

The last author who captured me was Brandon Danderson with his "Mistborn" trilogy. I have been blown away.

Lois McMaster Bujold. Devoured her ENTIRE backlist in under four months. (and that was WITH waiting time for books at the library).

These sound intriguing but I'm wondering... do they have happy endings? I prefer not to read stuff that's too grim and doesn't end with at least a HFN.

I'd have to say it was CJ Cherryh for me, as well :) I'm waiting for Foreigner #10 to come out in paperback, because I hate having mismatched series. (Though I'll check if my library has it so I can read it greedily.) A friend gave me Fortress in the Eye of Time (a fantasy) for Christmas, then I had to get the rest of those, then Foreigner and Alliance-Union and Morgaine.... I've got one and a half (3-foot wide) shelves just for her books. Now I'm tempted to re-read the Faded Sun...

I turned my dad on to the Foreigner series, too!
