The Four Lords of the Diamond
AuthorJack L. Chalker
I cannot believe this series slipped under my radar for 30 years. Refreshing and original, I've no doubt I'll read them again before the Grim Reaper claims me.

AuthorNorman Spinrad
ISBN0765301555
This is the most ragingly 1960s book I've ever read that wasn't produced by '72. Somehow, it took Spinrad till the mid-'80s to sum it ALL up in the form of an idealized coming-of-age-in-space story set in a culture with a pronounced "journeyman" phase that's celebrated as the cornerstone of identity-building;...

AuthorBob Shaw
ISBN0671698303
Another good Bob Shaw read. Like most of his books, the structure is a bit off-balance and the female characters underdeveloped (although they are at least distinctive and original). But it's a clever blend of speculative sci-fi, politics, action, and psychology. It's a page-turner epic, with visceral...
