Fantasy doorstopper series ranked starting at top!
A Listmania! list by dangermash (Hartlip, Kent)

1. A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R. R. Martin

The list author says:
	"A Song of Ice and Fire. Martin tops this list by a mile. This series has political intrigue, a soap opera feel, world building and only a little magic. Just the business for me."

Used & New from: �3.94

2. Duncton Wood (The Duncton Chronicles) by William Horwood

The list author says:
	"The Duncton Series (two trilogies). Very different (featuring moles rather than people) but leaves an unforgettable impression. Sadly currently out of print."

Used & New from: �0.01

3. Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy - Book 1) by Robin Hobb

4. The Blade Itself: Book One Of The First Law (Gollancz S.F.) by Joe Abercrombie

The list author says:
	"The First Law. Humour, grit, bad language, bit of politics and (in Glotka) the greatest ever character in a fantasy novel."

5. The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Bk. 1 by Stephen King

The list author says:
	"The Dark Tower. What would happen if Clint Eastwood played Doctor Who? Don't give up after book 1 - things really start moving in book 2 and the conclusion at the end of book 7 is a jawdropper!"

6. Shadow: Book One of the Scavenger Trilogy by K. J. Parker

The list author says:
	"Scavenger Trilogy. This is a mystery with an Agatha Christie style big revelation at the end."

7. The Dragonbone Chair (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn) by Tad Williams

The list author says:
	"Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. Best of the Tolkein copycats and (dare I say it) one that slipped down more easily than the Rings."

8. The Fellowship of the Ring: The Lord of the Rings, Part 1: Fellowship of the Ring Vol 1 by J. R. R. Tolkien

9. Lion Of Senet: The Second Sons Trilogy, Book One by Jennifer Fallon

The list author says:
	"Second Sons Trilogy. No magic and lots of politics. I'm starting to realise that's the fantasy recipe that appeals to me the most."

10. Magician (Riftwar Saga) by Raymond E. Feist

The list author says:
	"The Riftwar Saga. Good trilogy, even if the author seems to have changed his mind after book 1 about who the main protagonists are."

11. Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow (Trojan War Trilogy): 1 by David Gemmell

The list author says:
	"Troy. Best author for doorstopper standalones or series of medium length books, but his only doorstopper series was a comparative disappointment. But still the best fantasy author ever. RIP David."

12. The Gilded Chain by Dave Duncan

13. Dawnthief: Chronicles of the Raven 1 (Gollancz S.F.) by James Barclay

The list author says:
	"Chronicles of the Raven. Enjoyed it but a little too much magic for my taste. Stopped after 3 books."

14. Elric Of Melnibone (The Tale of the Eternal Champion) by Michael Moorcock

The list author says:
	"The Eternal Champion. The two Elric books were great (with a really good finish, which is a bit unusual for fantasy) but then went on to Von Bek, which was pants!"
