Jerry Pournelle recommends

Silverlock (1949) (Silverlock, book 1) John Myers Myers "A masterpiece."	Return to Tomorrow (1954) L Ron Hubbard "To the Stars, by L. Ron Hubbard, is one of the greatest science fiction novels that has ever been written."	The Armies of Elfland (1992) Poul Anderson "Everyone knows that Poul Anderson is one of the best: they're wrong - he's better!"
Ill Wind (1995) Kevin J Anderson and Doug Beason "The new generation of hard-SF writers."	The Complete Fuzzy (1995) (Fuzzies) H Beam Piper "He was a story teller; a man who could keep you up all night with his books and tales... He was a cavalier."	Escape from Heaven (2002) J Neil Schulman "Just plain fun ... a romp ... behind the pure fun, has the serious Miltonic purpose of justifying God's ways to man."
