The Brothehood Of War series by W.E.B. Griffin is one of the best book series I have read in a long time. Gripping and involved it takes you from the middle of WWII to present day following the careers of several key individuals. A very nicely written series.

The Dirk Pitt series by Clive Custler are amoung the best books ever written in my honest opinion. I first read Inca Gold, and was hooked from there. Very good books.

Stainless Steel Rat series is a great read, but Harry Harrisons lates Rat books leave something to be desired.

i just finished Barry Longyear's Enemy Mine series. Fantastic

I picked up the enemy papers (white wolf publishing ) which has all 3 stories. <--"The Enemy Papers" contains a newly edited and expanded-by-the-author Version of "Enemy Mine" and its two sequels, "The Last Enemy" and "The Tomorrow Testament"-->

I Recommend it.

I love all of Jack Chalker's Well of Souls books. Also the Shanara series by Brooks.

I'm now into the third book of the Otherland series (4 books). After a slow start I'm really enjoying it - Williams ( http://www.tadwilliams.com ) has a really good grasp on internet (sub)culture(s) and has extrapolated them convincingly into the future.

If anyone hasn't read his stuff but wants a free taster, there's a few chapters of text free at http://www.shadowmarch.com - also a good read. I might Subscribe soon...
