[color=#000000ost_uid0]You can't beat Ray Bradbury for written sf. John Wyndham is also good, and I do like Heinlein, though some of the social elements are rather outdated (the way women are treated in [iost_uid0]Orphans of the Sky[/iost_uid0] and [iost_uid0]Double Star[/iost_uid0], for example). Another, somewhat underrated sf author is C. S. Lewis, not for the Narnia books (which aren't underrated) but for the so-called Cosmic Trilogy starting with [iost_uid0]Out of the Silent Planet[/iost_uid0].

As for Trek novels, one word: [iost_uid0]Millennium[/iost_uid0].[/colorost_uid0]
