"The first book of The Song of Ice and Fire series. Good writing, good research, good characters who die horribly. All things that aren't readily found in fantasy books!"
"Great stuff! Science fiction with grand scope. Covers all the important stuff: time travel, aliens, politics, space ships, and the end of the universe."
"Ian Banks is a thought-provoking writer whose science fiction novels push the barriers of the genre. Excession is a particularly gripping story of galactic civilisations and intelligent machines."
"The foundation series is one of Isaac Asimov’s classics. Written ages ago, but you can’t tell – always a sign of good science fiction. Nice to see a mathematician as a hero."
