2. Lyonesse: Suldrun's Garden: Suldrun's Garden Bk.1 (Fantasy Masterworks) by Jack Vance

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

The list author says:
	"First book of a great series. Not as distinctively written as the Vance books (could have used some more editing) but the plotting, characterisation and dialogue are superb and epic in scope"

5. Compleat Traveller in Black by John Brunner

The list author says:
	"Read this over 15 years ago. Re-reading it now. Fable like tales about the Traveller in Black's campaign for order in the face of chaos. Vance-like in style."

6. His Dark Materials Gift Set: "Northern Lights", "The Subtle Knife", "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman

The list author says:
	"For kids? You're joking. All are excellent, but in my opinion the first is the best and darkest of all. Thereafter plot loses some ground to grand themes."

Used & New from: �4.99

7. The Earthsea Quartet: "A Wizard Of Earthsea"; "The Tombs of Atuan"; "The Farthest Shore"; "Tehanu" (Puffin Books) by Ursula Le Guin

The list author says:
	"For kids again, but has a compact style similar to Vance. Enchanting."

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

The list author says:
	"Some similarities to the George Martin series, with politics and good plotting, but more anchored on one character Fitz, the assassin and bastard. Almost as good as the George Martin books."

9. Von Bek: "Warhound and the World's Pain", "City in the Autumn Stars", "Pleasure Gardens of Felipe Sagittarius" (Tale of the Eternal Champion) by Michael Moorcock

The list author says:
	"I read the first story about 20 years ago, and it got me hooked on Michael Moorcock. I am re-reading it at the moment and the second story is even better, so far."
