What aspect of sci-fi or supernatural books most captures you #booklovers?
@EdgeOErin little late to the party, but when a writer ( or writers) writes a series where each book builds upon what has occured previously.
Two examples I can think of are David Weber's " Honor Harrington" series, and believe it or not, the Star Trek novels had a 20 year storyline end last year where the books interlocked
@Darkenyght1701 Very cool, and I concur. My Terraform Charlie spans 50K years, and at 200K words could've been made into three books
@EdgeOErin Cool.
John Ringo is another sci fi writer that world builds, but he has the habit of dropping one series to start another.
Do you read alt history?
@Darkenyght1701 No, I haven't read alt history, though Dystopian works can be similar. John Ringo has me thinking of Rambo.
@EdgeOErin if you decide to read it, Harry Turtledove is the acknowledged master.
He did a series where one book ( How Few Remain) set the stage for the rest, which ran from WW1 through the Depression and WW2.
His version of the South is very...
frightening.
@Darkenyght1701 @EdgeOErin Hes considered the undisputed master of alternative history. Gets way out there with it.
I only know of his work by reputation.
@NiveusLepus @EdgeOErin I actually stumbled across him by accident.
The first books I read of his was a series where a Roman legion was transported to a world where.magic worked.
After that, I kept an eye out for his books
