Well this list of book's I have read will give you some insight to why my view's of the world cannot be pigeon-holed into a single way of thinking.
They will not be ranked in any order of preference, but how I have pulled them out of my book shelves.
The first is the "Deverry" series of book's by Katharine Kerr. There are eight book's in all, from first to last they are, Daggerspell, Darkspell, Dawnspell: The Bristling Wood, Dragonspell: The Southern Sea, A Time Of Exile, A Time Of Omens, A Time Of War, and A Time Of Justice. And there a new one's coming.
This series is too completed for me to give an understandable short description. As you follow people through several different lives, and how they all are related to each other throughout them.
So you will have to find a copy of one of them and have a look for yourself. You should find it in the science/fantasy section of your book store.
I have also enjoyed two books that follow the same characters by Craig Thomas, they are FireFox and FireFox Down. Some may remember that Clint Eastwood played the main character, Mitchell Grant, in the movie FireFox.
Tom Clancy is another author I like, but have only read two of his book's. They being, The Hunt For Red October and Without Remorse, but like many other's I have seen the movie versions of other book's he has written.
Another two book's I have by the same author are ChickenHawk and Weapon by Robert Mason. ChickenHawk is an autobiographical look at Robert Mason's own experience's as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam war. Where Weapon is a look at a high tech military robot with artificial intelligence, and it leave's you with this type of question, when does artificial intelligence become a new form of intelligence? For the robot (Solo) develops an awareness of self, along with ideal's from his own "life" experience's.
Here are some book's I have read on the martial art that I have study, Ninjutsu. There are many different art's out there that you can study if you wish to study one, and all I can say is, look around and find the one that suite's you. As they all have something different offer to different people.
Plus Charles Daniel's, Ninja art of unarmed combat, Taijutsu.
I have also enjoyed some of the book's that have been written to continue story from the Star Wars movie's. I am not the scary sort of Star Wars fan who buy's all the figure's and dress's up like the character's, but I enjoy it just the same.
The book's I have, with there year's they are set after Jedi are;
The Truce at Bakura by Kathy Tyers, which is set straight after Return of the Jedi.
Four years after Jedi is The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton
Next come's Timothy Zahn's trilogy set one year later; Heir To The Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command.
The Jedi Academy trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson follow's two year's later; Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice and Champions of the Force.
One year later come's Children of the Jedi by Barbara Hambly
The Crystal Star by Vonda N. McIntyre is set another two year's later.
Set fourteen year's after Jedi is The Corellian Trilogy by Roger MacBride Allen; Ambush at Corellia, Assault at Selonia and Showdown at Centerpoint.
If you have any comment's on these or any other book's I would like to hear them. For I feel by opening our mind's to new idea's is the only way can truly grow.
So please mail them to me as I have not got around to working out how to put a guest book in.
