The Deed of Paksenarrion

^ incredibly in-depth and it does have some parts that make me suggest it only for 18+ year old readers but the story is one of the best fantasy tales I have ever read and the gritty reality with which the author presents the story is one you don't often encounter in an era of "beautified sparkly stories of happiness". *Edit* didn't see until now that lady black already mentioned this one but the author is Elizabeth Moon and not Anne McAffrey (they have collaborated on a few projects, just not this one).

As far as Sci-Fi goes, one author stands out above all the rest in my eyes and that would be Timothy Zahn. Some of his best works include the Cobra trilogy and the Conqueror trilogy but I've read most of his books and enjoyed every single one so far. He also has at least one series for younger readers called the Dragonback series which was quite excellent.

When i was younger i read the wheel of time series very good fantasy but last book isn't out till probably next year.

The series i'm currently reading is The Malazan book of the fallen by steven erikson. Quite graphic and detailed.

I like fantasy series as they create an entire world and they take a long time to finish reading them all. The whole experience is very epic.

Thanks for the correction, fiernaq. Yes, of course Paks is by Elizabeth Moon. Minor attack of brain freeze-up or something. Moon has several other series also, all of which I enjoyed. Zahn's dragonback series is great fun for adults, too. Another author I like is Robin Hobb.

I enjoyed one of Truman's autobiographies, can't remember which one; had to write a paper on him in High School.

The author I was referring to was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_S._Thompson

In reference to Pyrizzle's comment of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

Sorry for being cryptic, was just tired lol.

I did not know you are a H.S.T. fan. He is one of my all time favorite writers

It exists....actually a couple versions exist...

We don't want these builds getting out in the wild; they are for testing/development.

The alpha/beta releases will be posted here on the forums as soon as they are ready. As always they will be available via the Project Page.

Thanks
