David Gerrold recommends

Callahan's Con (2003)
(Callahan)
Spider Robinson
"How the hell is any self-respecting author supposed to compete with a storyteller as good as Spider Robinson?"

Very Hard Choices (2008)
(Russell Walker, book 2)
Spider Robinson
"Spider Robinson is at his best when he is most passionate - and this is Spider Robinson at his very best. If you're expecting a nice polite distraction that you can put down and forget, you're going to be very annoyed. This isn't a story, it's a wake-up call. And it isn't over until you decide it's over."
