Raymond Z. Gallun
- The Best of Raymond Z. Gallun - I read this years ago.
It's short stories from one of the authors of the Golden
Age of Science Fiction. The Best of ... was a series of
books, but I don't recall who put them out. That has to
wait until I get home.
Alan Garner
-
- Elidor - More early urban fantasy.
- Red Shift -
- The Owl Service - More early urban fantasy, based upon
one of the Welsh goddess legends. I am not going to try
and spell it without the book in front of me. At one
point I wanted to use it for gaming, and if I ever do
some sort of urban fantasy I will look at the books again.
Brisingham Series
This an early example of Urban Fantasy. The book concerns
two children who encounter the old legends of England or
Wales during what appears to be the 1960s. At one point I
wanted to use it for gaming, and if I ever do some sort of
urban fantasy I will look at the books again.
- The Weirdstone of Brisingham (#1) -
- The Moon of Gomrath (#2) -
Roberta Gellis
- Thrice Bound - standard fantasy set in a nominially
historical ancient Greece, Egypt and Mideast.
- Bullgod - Not really a follow on to Thrice Bound,
but set in the same world and with some of the same
characters.
William Gibson
- Neuromancer (#1) -
- Count Zero (#2) - One of the early cyber-punk novels from
the middle 1980s. Some interesting ideas. Not a genre I'm
likely to play in though. This is part of a series, sort
of.
Alexis A. Gilliland
- Wizenbeak - I really liked this book. I think if offers a
series of good hooks to explain how low level adventurers
can get involved in fantasy kingdom politics. Also a
plausiable reason for a civil war. No great evil, or
anything like that. Just plain old human politics.
Roland Green
- The Great Kings War co-author with John F. Carr. This is
a follow on to H. Beam
Piper's Lord Kalven of Otherwhen. Both books
are useful to me for gaming. They show some of what it
takes to increase tech levels. Kalven is from 1960s
America and gets dropped into an alternate time line that
is early gun powder tech level. Besides having to fight a
war, he tries to re-invent technology to help him win
both the war and the peace.
Steven Gould
- Jumper - I really liked this novel.
It has the kind of psionics I like, instead of the
D&D / d20 psionics which acts the same as magic. It's
set in the modern era, and deals with what somebody who
can teleport could do. This book is important for any of
the Psi World campaigns I'm thinking of running.
