Reply #7: Robert Sawyer and Robert Charles Wilson [View All]

are two absolute favorites of mine. Both are Canadians, both have careers going back twenty years or more, and both have written some of my recent favorites. And even though, especially for Wilson, a lot of their stuff is out of print, it's readily available on Amazon. My personal favorite of Wilson's work is "A Bridge of Years", with "The Harvest" a close second. With Sawyer my favorite is probably the trilogy "Hominids", "Humans", and "Hybrids".

For me, both writers have an original take on what they choose to write about. Their books don't seem to be as formula driven as so much of what comes out lately. Plus, I've met both of them at conferences and they are Nice Guys.

Another writer to look at is Jack McDevitt. I heartily recommend everything he's written.

So go off, read some of what's been suggested, and we'll expect a book report in a couple of weeks. :)
