and dont forget zindell's lovely work: Neverness and the triology Requiem for homosapiens. the focus is on religious/social debate and characters are extremely well developed rather than describing a laser weapon for 10 pages. it's very romantic actually. but one of the best scifi books ever. imo. zindell thank you so much :) oh and btw .. i believe his most recent work is of the fantasy kind ... could this mean something? :/
