2) Vinge, Vernor. Fire Upon the Deep.

$6.99.
Paperback reprint 1992 hardcover sf. Winner 1993 Hugo Award, Best Novel.

"Great opening sequence with the unleashing of an Ancient Evil, followed by a page-turning tale following two kids who unknowingly have the key to putting the genie back into the bottle. Really great pack-mind aliens! Highly recommended."--Dave

 

3) Simmons, Dan. Hyperion.

$6.99.
Paperback reprint 1989 hardcover sf. Cover art by Gary Ruddell. Winner 1990 Hugo Award, Best Novel.

"The first pair (Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion) are a single novel split by the publisher. Quirky, amazing novel with enough invention for six other novelists. Simmons always pushes the envelope -- here he pushes it for space opera. I couldn't finish the second pair (Endymion and Rise of Endymion), but this is wonderful!"--Tom

 

4) Gibson, William. Neuromancer.

$21.95. Hardcover reprint 1984 paperback sf. Jacket art by Rick Berry. Winner 1984 Nebula Award and 1985 Hugo Award, Best Novel.

$6.99. Paperback reprint 1984 paperback.

"Cyberpunk started here: dark in tone, literate flashy prose, and a still vital look the information age. Although I slightly prefer its direct sequel, Count Zero, but this novel is still the Real Thing. Highly recommended."--Dave

"This is real sense of wonder sf, now slightly dated but still powerful. Recommended."--Tom

 

5) Robinson, Kim Stanley. Red Mars.

$6.99.
Paperback reprint 1992 British hardcover sf. Cover art by Don Dixon. Winner 1993 Nebula Award, Best Novel.

Recommended by Debbie.

$6.99.
Paperback reprint 1991 hardcover revised reprint 1985 hardcover sf. Cover art by John Harris.

"A brilliant revisionist take on Starship Troopers, tantalizingly dangling the spectre of moral conscience until the last moment, leading into the even more brilliant contemplation of compassion, Speaker for the Dead. Card may have learned more tricks to provide a better novel in the parallel tale, Ender's Shadow, but this is where it started. Recommended."--Dave

"Speaker for the Dead is better constructed, but Ender's Game has a great deal of power. Recommended."-_Tom

Also recommended by Jennifer.

"If you don't like the opening, you won't like this mannered barely-fantasy novel. I love it."--Tom

Also highly recommended by Jennifer and Dave.

 

9) Willis, Connie. Doomsday Book.

$6.99.
Paperback reprint 1992 hardcover time-travel sf.

"A gripping novel of plagues and time travel -- good characters, too. Recommended."--Tom

Also recommended by Dave.

$6.99.
Paperback reprint 1990 hardcover fantasy. Earthsea 4. Cover art by John Jude Palencar. Winner 1990 Nebula Award, Best Novel.

"The original three Earthsea novels are on my Must-Own list, a journey of discovery, filled with the magic of finding one's relationships with the external world. Unlike those earlier books, this two-decades-later sequel is not a kid's coming-of-age book, but rather a 'tougher' novel about ageing and women's magic. Recommended."--Dave

Also highly recommended by Tom and Jennifer.
