Anne McCaffrey, Dragonflight.

The Bookshelf
On Max Porter's Lanny, Alexander Chee's Edinburgh, Dave Eggers' The Parade and Katherine Kovacic's Bookshelf

I think that was my first venture into fantasy science fiction.

The Bookshelf

And the world building that she had in particularly that first book, but the ongoing Dragon series was just incredible.

Tony Jordan's The Fragments.

The Bookshelf
On Max Porter's Lanny, Alexander Chee's Edinburgh, Dave Eggers' The Parade and Katherine Kovacic's Bookshelf

Absolutely love that.

The Bookshelf

I guess there is a slightly art...

The Bookshelf

art sort of feel to that one as well, but always a fan of Tony Jordan's work.

Sara Paretsky.

The Bookshelf

So again, she's an author in the Sue Grafton vein.

The Bookshelf

She also has a female crime protagonist.

The Bookshelf

And again, she started writing

The Bookshelf

in the 80s, and her series has come right through to the present day.

The Bookshelf

V.I.

The Bookshelf

Wachowski.

V.I.

The Bookshelf

Wachowski, that's right, yes.

So the most recent one I read of hers was Fallout.

The Bookshelf
On Max Porter's Lanny, Alexander Chee's Edinburgh, Dave Eggers' The Parade and Katherine Kovacic's Bookshelf

And so that was just a beautifully plotted book, and I think it's great just to see those characters sustained over such a number of years.

The Bookshelf
On Max Porter's Lanny, Alexander Chee's Edinburgh, Dave Eggers' The Parade and Katherine Kovacic's Bookshelf

Well, you know, I hadn't really expected to because I had Molly Dean in my head long before I had Alex in my head.

The Bookshelf
On Max Porter's Lanny, Alexander Chee's Edinburgh, Dave Eggers' The Parade and Katherine Kovacic's Bookshelf

Yes, absolutely.
