10 is hard to go off the top of my head, but, in semi-random
The expanse: loved it so much we have our son the middle name Holden
Dune: always a classic for a reason
Children of Time: find myself dwelling on this
Honor Harrington: the best military sci-fi
Forever War: made me think
Hitchhiker's Guide: always makes me laugh (also like Darkside of the sun, but not listing both)
Hyperion: definitive space opera
The matian: definitive hard scifi
The culture: like the federation in star trek, but better.
Children of time needs more hype. Probably the best science fiction to come out in recent times.
We're going on an adventure!
I didn't think the second book could be on par with the first but it was also fantastic.
Third one wasn't as good, but worth a read. Adrian Tchaikovsky must be the most underhyped sci-fi author writing today, his "The Final Architecture" series is great bit of space opera.
I'm on the second of that. Loved the first, but got dragged off while re-reading SLA
Good to hear. Haven't read the rest of the series, but felt the first was so good it didn't need a follow up
