Greg Bear recommends
 The Space Merchants (1952) (Space Merchants, book 1) C M Kornbluth and Frederik Pohl "One of Frederik Pohl's best novels - and my personal favourite. Complex people in tough situations on a marvelous and gritty world - who could ask for more from any novel?" |  Ancient of Days (1985) Michael Bishop "A marvelous novel - human and amusing and sharp as a razor." |  The Child Garden (1989) Geoff Ryman "Science Fiction of a very high order!" | |
 Requiem: And Tributes to the Grand Master (1989) Robert Heinlein "86,000 words of Robert Heinlein - never been in book form before. A real treasure for all Robert Heinlein's children." |  Deke!: An Autobiography (1994) Michael Cassutt and Donald K Slayton "As authentic and enthralling as they come. Deke! gives essebtial insight into both Deke Slayton and the U.S. space program, in Deke's own quiet and matter-of-fact voice." |  At the City Limits of Fate (1996) Michael Bishop "All of Bishop's wonders and strengths! A rich and surprising collection." | |
 Receive the Gift (1997) (Singers of Nevya, book 3) Louise Marley "Marley's knowledge of music and story makes for a stunning combination of talent." |  Vast (1998) (Nanotech Succession, book 3) Linda Nagata "Linda Nagata writes with a clear vision of humanity, science, and the future. Highly recommended." |  Lion's Blood: A Novel of Slavery and Freedom in an Alternate America (2002) Steven Barnes "...magnificent, exciting and beautifully crafted...a passionate and compelling story..." | |
 What Does a Martian Look Like?: The Science of Extraterrestrial Life (2002) Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart "A fascinating and useful handbook to both the science and science fiction of extraterrestrial life. Cohen and Stewart are amusing, opinionated, and expert guides. I found it a terrific and informative piece of work-nothing else like it!" |  The Speed of Dark (2002) Elizabeth Moon "Absolutely compelling . . . A fine novel! Elizabeth Moon takes us to a part of the human neighborhood that is at once enchanting and heartbreaking." |  Jovian (2003) Donald Moffitt "Packed with ideas and the true spirit of high-tech adventure. Excellent!" | |
 Through Violet Eyes (2004) (Violet Eyes , book 1) Stephen Woodworth "A fast, smart novel, brighter than a meteor and twice as scary. Woodworth provides shocks and thoughts in equal measure!" |  Singularity (2004) Bill DeSmedt "A swift gripping novel with a goose-pimple mix of scary science and near-future action. An excellent debut from Bill DeSmedt." |  Cusp (2005) Robert A Metzger "Cusp is both a page turning thriller and a gold mine of astonishing ideas." | |
 End in Fire (2005) Syne Mitchell "A lean, tense thriller set in a very plausible future. Mitchell is a writer of considerable talent." |  Veracity (2009) Laura Bynum "An utterly absorbing and impressive novel of technology, control, and pseudo-morality gone mad. Too close for comfort!" |
