Since you are on the Traveller list, I assume you like "hard" scifi, vampires and warewolves, elves nad wizards need not apply.

The Windup Girl, Paolo Bacigalupi, great story, near future dystopian, but don't let that scare you.
I like everything by David Weber.
David Drake has some great stuff, some not so great IMHO.
Retrieval Artist series by Kristine Kathryn Rusch entertained be quite a bit.
Makers by Cory Doctorow.  Like Stephenson? Try this.
Hard Wired, could have been an RPG that inspired it

Looking to my peers for more to read also.

Quiet, isn't it?

OK, let's try and get the ball rolling...

I have always been very conservative in my choice of reading matter, sticking to the few authors I knew and liked and very reluctant to move outside that limited sphere.  However, that has recently changed with my acquisition of a Nook e-readerand I have probably read more new (to me) stuff in the last six months than I did in the previous ten years.

So, my question is this: what Traveller related books and authors would the list recommend me to read?

Many thanks,

David Shaw
