FoundationIsaac Asimov
Loved it

the foundation novels are one of the gold standards of classic science fiction the foundation Trilogy is the series that made me most interested in exploring this genre

HyperionDan Simmons
Loved it

the first book Is this literary work of Science Fiction that has some of the most brilliant short stories I've read in the genre that are all tied together as each of these pilgrims on this pilgrimage to see this mysterious Striker telling their tale two of which left me very emotional

PinesBlake Crouch
Loved it

there are a lot of Thrills there are a lot of really big twists one in the about two-thirds point of the first book which turns the series on its head and then all the way to the very end the very last sentence of this Trilogy is a masterpiece

Red RisingPierce Brown
Loved it

the initial Trilogy itself is fantastic although the first book itself does have its detractors I think the story itself evolved into something grander

ReplayKen Grimwood
Loved it

the ending was superb replay is one that's probably not talked about quite as much as some of the others on this list but I think is one that's fantastic

The Fall of HyperionDan Simmons
Loved it

the second book is kind of a steampunk Universe building jargon filed story that almost dismisses a lot of the first book but then ties it together really well at the end

The Forever WarJoe Haldeman
Loved it

there are aspects of this story that have not aged well since 1974 When It Was Written but as a whole I think it's one of the finest works of milary science fiction that I've read and one that I do recommend

The MartianAndy Weir
Loved it

this book is a page Turner of the best kind from the opening explo filled first sentence of this book The Martian grabbed me right away

The Rise of EndymionDan Simmons
Loved it

the rise of emian is very philosophical about religion and humanity and I saw the end coming 30 pages from the end I knew exactly how it was going to end and it still left me in years
