I put in a bunch of answers trying for "John Norman," but I got
Jerry Pournelle instead. HA!

Arthur C Clark



Childhood's End was a classic, but the Ender's saga has enver held my attention

[gnimbley]

Ender was written by Orson Scott Card. Clarke is okay, if you
like formualistic "big science" discovery epics.

::checks bookshelf:: Hmmm... so it was. That's probably why I didn't enjoy it

I only read "Childhood's End" because the Demons (?) where listed in Barlow's Guide to the Extraterrestrials. It's also where I discovered Heinlein (Venetians - Have Spacesuit, Will Travel), and ??? (Denebians - SpacePaw, Spacial Delivery). And about half a dozin other aliens (who authors/titles escape me at the moment.

I wanted to be Jules Verne, or Asimov, but no, I had to go and become Clarke.

[Not Nurbldoff]

Gnimbley: OK, looked her up a bit but it seems like none of her books are available in the library here. Now I'm curious enough that I think I'll have to find some.

Hal Clement (Harry C. Stubbs)
A quiet and underrated master of "hard science" fiction who, among other things, foresaw integrated circuits back in the 1940s.

[chaosgraves:agentoferis]

John Brunner

His best known works are dystopias -- vivid realizations of the futures we want to avoid.



Will the real arther c. clarke please stand up?

[SMFabal]

Hal Clement rings a bell - Riverworld?

John Brunner also vaugely triggers a memory - I believe I once had a three in one of his novels (Hardcover, $.99 new), but I don't memeber any of it
