Deathworld is a great Sci fi novel set on a planet where all the fauna and flora has one design and that is to destroy outsiders some similarities to avatar i feel Read More

Interstellar Patrol by Christopher Anvil (parts 1 & 2)
Years after first reading it, i'm still amused, delighted and awed by the book when i sit down to read. A great read for those who appreciate the victors using by wit and intelligence instead of the superior military force. Pure Genius.

Anne McCaffery's Dragon's of pern would be good to read to for the impression's. But the Ship Who Sang is a beautiful read.
My favorite is Lois McMaster Bujold, and yes once you start reading Miles you cannot stop, in fact must reread again, for a little guy he is one hell of a character and he gets into all sorts of trouble.
And yes Richard Morgan. Read More

I have to admit, being a big sci fi fan i have never read any of these. But will certainly check them out! The only one i really know about from all seven of them is Dune. Looks like i got some major reading and catching up to do. Read More

I've only read one of those so will check out the rest. Also worth mentioning is Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan. It deals a lot with the transfer of minds into other bodies. Geat detective noir as well. Good skills Empire Read More

| 11 | Good choice |

Ah my faith in you guys has been restored! A good selection here, Grass is an exceptional novel and the whole Forever trilogy would come highly recommended by me, In addition Mockingbird and Roadside Picnic are definate must reads, the highlights of the Sci-Fi Masterworks series that I've read so far.
Good list Empire! Read More

| 12 | Uh, Why is James Franco on the cover of Forever War? |

and for the record Dune is a pretty fucking dull book. David Lynch's Dune FTW! Read More

| 13 | Old Mans War? |
| Posted on Saturday October 31, 2009, 09:24 by Dave25 |
What about Old Man's War by John Scalzi? The fact that Cameron has ripped off the cloned body and mind transfer part of this book I should say so, its ok though as the clones in the book had green skin not blue so Cameron can't be sued :-/ Read More

Starship Troopers? I read that Cameron made the cast of Aliens read the book. And if there are space marines in Avatar chances are they'll be something like the Mobile Infantry.
BTW- Dune is one of the best books I've ever read. Read More

'A Princes Of Mars' springs to mind, first of the '( John Carter) Of Mars books': Human dude transported to alien world, gives alien dudes the motivation to rebel. Most creatures are direct analogues of earth creatures but a different colour and extra legs. Written by the dude that wrote Tarzan.
For maximum enjoyment of Avatar DON'T read this book, or the seven above...and don't watch Aliens, dances with wolves, and definitely definitely don't watch Delgo.
