Best Science Fiction Novels

Harry Potter - Yes, the films are fantastic, but the books are where the true pleasures lie with this series. There's plenty of sci-fi series novels, but few of them are as well constructed as the Harry Potter books. Rowling has often said they knew exactly where this series was going from the moment they took pen to paper, & someone who has read the whole series would be hard pressed to argue that very fact.

Science fiction is a style of film making & novels that is surely alive & well. Few people jogging around have not watched an episode of Star Trek, read or watched Harry Potter, or headed to the film theater to watch Terminator or of The Matrix movies. While the films are great, nothing beats settling back with a book & letting the mind generate the visuals they imagine in lieu of someone else's vision.

Rainbows Finish - Someone having wondered what the future holds in terms of medical marvels will love this book. Imagine being regarded as a wonderful mind only to suffer from a debilitating illness. Now imagine the world finds a cure but that one time wonderful mind is now regarded as average. In lieu of having everyone marvel at your intelligence, you merely struggle to keep up with everyone else. The book makes plenty of assumptions about where today's know-how is going but definitely evokes plenty of questions by the time the last page is turned.

Time Traveler's Spouse - An wonderful idea that was taken to wonderful levels in the book. The film was excellent, the novel was great. Imagine having a condition that literally has you leaping from decade to decade, year to year, or century to century at any given time. On the other side is the that has given you their heart, seldom knowing when you will disappear or how & in the event you will come back to them. In the event you enjoyed the film, the book will take you to places only touched on by the film. A very great read.
