I'm looking for some good scifi books I can sink my teeth into. A good space adventure or exploration. What do you guys recommend?

Yeah... and Orson Scott Card is a raving right-wing Mormon homophobic lunatic, so I would suggest not buying any of his books new. Library or used bookstore ONLY, let's not give him another penny.Netheralian said:Edit: I thought Enders Game was pretty good. However, I found it went downhill a bit for the rest of the series.
Don't forget the Dirdir. Ruthless top-predators that happen to be bright pink.nasher168 said:heheh, there's apparently an alien species in that last one called the Wankh. :lol:

Commander Eagle said:- Dune, by Frank Herbert, is one of the greatest novels of all time - and that's in every genre, not just science fiction. The sequels leave a lot to be desired, though.
Commander Eagle said:- Starship Troopers, also by Heinlein. Absolutely nothing like the movies, and at least fifty bajillion times better.
Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is the best thing ever by a long shot.InvisibleStain said:The best science-fiction book I've ever read, and probably the reason why I ended up in this forum, is "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", the author, Douglas Adams, was a close friend of Richard Dawkins (it was to Adams that he dedicated "The God Delusion")
It's a weird mix of science-fiction, satire and comedy, if there's one book in my shelf I really value that definitely is my -beautiful- copy of "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy"
