And Saga is a great sci-fi graphic novel series. I’m not huge on graphic novels but this one was fantastic.

Ender’s Game series by Orson Scott Card. Both the Ender Quartet and the Shadow Quartet.

And if you’re into time travel, Domesday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog, both by Connie Willis.

Yes, I loved it! Did you read To Say Nothing of the Dog? It’s similar to Doomsday Book, with one character, James Dunworthy also appearing in this novel.

The Silo trilogy by Hugh Howey was amazing. That and Dune are the best sci-fi I have read myself ?

I’m currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert, but as it is the best selling sci-fi book ever, I’m pretty sure you’ve already read it. If you are into video games though, you can try out the Mass Effect series.

https://www.facebook.com/maggieandjamie/ Stalked by an obsessed vampire, Maggie Micelli and Jamie Walker have given up on having a normal relationship. But their love affair is anything but normal. Jamie Walker is part of an elite army of wolves that hunts and kills vampires. Frank Russo is vampire royalty and to kill him would start a war with the vampires and wolves and expose them to the world. Maggie is learning that she also has powers to fight evil. What the future holds for them all nobody knows. But one thing is for sure, when you have an elite army of wolves, vampire royalty and witches involved, it makes for an interesting journey in the world of the supernatural! http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ / http://www.kobo.com/ / https://www.amazon.com/ / http://www.createspace.com/ My book is on e-book and paperback through CreateSpace.
