A Talent for War (Alex Benedict)
1.  A Talent for War (Alex Benedict) by Jack McDevitt
The list author says:
  "I find a lot of Jack McDevitt's work fairly light and unrewarding. This novel stands out from his other works with a haunting and memorable storyline, and deserves to be more widely known."
£7.99   Used & New from: £0.09
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

A Deepness in the Sky
2.  A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge
The list author says:
  "Not as well known as his "Fire Upon The Deep", but I think more rewarding. Fire Upon the Deep crackles with fresh ideas and was a revelation when it came out, but this stays with me"
