Pretty self-explanatory. You can choose up to three authors who count among your favourites.

Question Mark

I'm going to add Michael Stackpole for his BattleTech (technically SciFi I know!) and StarWars: Rouge Squadron stuff.

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman - Dragonlance. Only the novels they wrote, I imagine the ones by other authors being nowhere as good as theirs.

Oups, I didn't see Robert Jordan in the list, so voted for R.A. Salvator, but I would have voted for Jordan instead.

They wrote LOTS of other novels. You should make a search on them on Amazon.com

rut row, I didn't see Poul Anderson, Three Hearts, Three Lions nor did I see any of David Gemmel's books, Lion of Macedon(Philip of Macedonia, base line) Dark Prince (Alexander the Great, base line)are two very well wriiten books.
