Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1) 377 reviews Timothy Zahn
Spectra, 1992
Almost the first Expanded Universe Novel!
+ Superb kickoff to a great trilogy set five years after Return of the Jedi + Good Surprise
That is if you don't count Splinter of the Mind's Eye, or the Han trilogy, or Lando trilogy. This is a great series and could easily be credited with keeping the Star Wars series in the general populace's eye during the late eighties and early nineties. With no new films to date Star Wars was ...

On Basilisk Station (Honor Harrington Book 1) 146 reviews David Weber
Baen, 2005
Yes you do
You have to at least give the Honorverse a try.
I haven't tried any of the newer science fiction -- like in the last twenty years. But I definitely picked the right one to try first, and I don't know if any of the rest of it will measure up to this. So whatever you have to do, read Weber's ...

Starpilot's Grave (Mageworlds, Book 2) 3 reviews Debra Doyle, James D. Macdonald
Tor Science Fiction, 1993
Beka, Ari and Owen ride again!
+ Undercover in the Mageworlds
This way-more-than-adequate sequel to The Price of the Stars surpasses the first volume in its two great virtues: breathlessly fast action and fascinatingly developed characters. We get to see much more of the enigmatic and powerful Owen Rosselin-Metadi, and the relationship between his brother Ari ...
