    Just read Orphan X and its sequel The Nowhere man. Really enjoyed them both. ---------- Post automerged at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ---------- Sorry for the double post Guy Gavriel Kay is one of my favorites, and this fits your criteria. It's in the same world as a few of his other works, but doesn't really tie in to them. The Last Light of the Sun

    I feel like they get better, but that's just me. Did you read Killing Floor? That's on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of his books that I've enjoyed. The action is good, the plots get more grisly and they aren't as predictable. I just enjoy the hell out of reading about Jack Reacher, they definitely aren't for everyone. Pick up another one and see what you think. The Persuader is top notch, 61 hours is intense and Tripwire is pretty crazy.

    Started reading books from Vince Flynn after I ran out Jack Reacher novels. Flynn's main character Mitch Rapp is a badass and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about him. Check out American Assassin, the first in the series based on chronological order.

    Picked up a new book called The Rook yesterday, written by Daniel O'Malley. Has anyone here read this or heard anything about it? Here's the amazon summary:

    The Sandman Slim series was mentioned a while back, but I finally picked up the first book last week. I loved it. Stark is a bad ass. Get's banished to hell and survives for 11 years as Lucifer's hit man. Once he escapes he only has one thing in mind. Kill anyone and everyone who had anything to do with him being stuck in Hell. Boy does he make good on that plan. Oh, it's written by Richard Kadrey.

    Picked up a pretty lengthy first book in a trilogy called Devices and Desires by K.J. Parker. So far it's been a pretty entertaining read. It's not really like anything I've encountered before. No magic whatsoever but there is quite a bit of engineering. The art and skill of it is being monopolized by one nation and has been for quite some time. Until..... From Amazon

    Just started reading The Enemy by Lee Child. So far I cannot put it down. Jack Reacher is a very very captivating protagonist.

    Just finished up the Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch and I've got to say it was a very good book. I haven't quite read anything like it, The Gentleman Bastards are epic. I just picked up the second book Red Seas Under Red Skies and cannot wait to get started. I highly recommend this series to everyone here. Wiki link Authors official Website

    I actually preferred Feist's series The Conclave of Shadows to any of his other books.

    From what I gathered, Robert Jordan only intended for one more book to be written. The author who is continuing it has split the one book into three separate books. Has anyone read the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist? He is probably one of my favorite authors and his books are worth a read.

    The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavrial Kay has some very good detailed fights. It starts off with 5 people from toronto who are pulled into a world that isn't theirs by a magician. After that, well you'll just have to read the books :) Its a bit tolkein-esque, which makes sense because the author helped Christopher Tolkein edit The Silmarillion. Another wiki link for your viewing pleasure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fionavar_Tapestry

    Anything by Raymond E. Feist is a good read. He has quite a few series. The Riftwar Saga, Empire Trilogy, Legends of the Riftwar, Riftwar Legacy, Serpentwar Sage, and the Convlave of Shadows. Here's a wiki link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_E._Feist

    Have you read the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan? That has a bit of magic in it. Anything by Guy Gavrial Kay will have some mythology in it. The Dune series doesn't focus on magic, but it is very good nonetheless.

    It's a toss up between two series for me; The Amber Series by Roger Zelazny and the Fionaver Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. I highly recommend both of these.
