Ironjens skrev: Richard Morgans bok Altered Carbon är sjukt bra cyberpunk noir. Jag tror den har en uppföljare men den har jag inte läst. Tydligen håller man på att filmatisera den för tillfället.

Ignus skrev:Joe Abercrombies "The First Law"-böcker är ruggigt bra. I bakgrunden finns ett episkt äventyr med tydliga Sagan om Ringen-influenser i en slags renäsannsvärld men framförallt så skriver Abercrombie intressanta människoporträtt. Inkvisitor Glokta är om möjligt den mest sympatiska karaktären i böckerna, trots att han torterar skyldiga såväl som oskyldiga för att få fram bekännelser. I stil är det rätt likt Richard Morgan. Modernt språk, rätt våldsamt, inga episka hjältar utan människor med fel och brister.

Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap is a legend to all who don’t know him and a twisted degenerate to those that do. A veteren of the wars against the lizards he makes a living from telling credulous travellers of his exploits. Until one day he is pulled away from his life and into the depths of the Empire’s slave trade. Where he will discover a secret infinitely more frightening than the trade in lives…

Archeth – pragmatist, cynic and engineer, the last of her race – is called from her work at the whim of the most powerful man in the Empire and sent to its farthest reaches to investigate a demonic incursion against the Empire’s borders.

Egar Dragonbane, steppe-nomad, one-time fighter for the Empire finds himself entangled in a small-town battle between common sense and religious fervour. But out in the wider world there is something on the move far more alien than any of his tribe’s petty gods.

Anti-social, anti-heroic, and decidedly irritated, all three of them are about to be sent unwillingly forth into a vicious, vigorous and thoroughly unsuspecting fantasy world. Called upon by an Empire that owes them everything and gave them nothing.

(The remains of a creature hit by a disintegrate spell count as a small portion of its body.) The creature can have been dead no longer than 10 years per caster level.

Jag börjar komma ikapp! någon måste ha läst nya spännande saker det senaste året?

Lite som jag själv har läst och gillat:
- massor från förslagen i tråden ovan, Stross var fantastisk, Mieville mycket bra och Asher perfekt "avkoppling".
- The Windup Girl tokbra
- The Godless World helt ok blod och svärd fantasy
- diverse Dick klassiker, genomgående bra


Så vad har ni andra läst?
