When I think of science fiction, I think of Jack Chalker, Andre Norton, Ann McCaffery, Issac Asimov, Mercedes Lackey to name a few. Huge fan of those authors, collected all their books. I am now a fan of Hugh Howey.
For someone who has been reading science fiction since the '70s, it has been a challenge to find someone (other than the above mentioned) who is able to pull me into a world thoroughly enough to actually read 6 of their books! In a row! In fact, I do believe that Hugh Howey is the first since then!
For those who project themselves into the world built by authors, the Wool series (or Silo series) is perfect. During the read (one right after another) I was living in the silo while reading and when I wasn't reading I was thinking of the dynamics of the characters, mechanics of living there, and impossibility of something like that actually working. To me, that is the sign of a great writer.
This author is a must read, I don't care what he writes, you must read it.

Cancer doesn't seem to want to let me go. No matter, I'm not willing to stop fighting! I've had to change to some stronger meds...

I saw the last post date, and had to do some thinking about why I stopped posting. I sure as heck didn't stop editing! Then I realize...

I really enjoyed Silver and Shadows. Because the descriptions were great, I was able to get visuals on all of the characters. Murde...
