S&F authors and resources.

My interest for S&F began when I was 14. Then I read the Foundation series, by Isaac Asimov. Since that day, I've been hooked.

My preferences in S&F are with the hard authors, of the likes of Gregory Benford and David Brin, and with the writers of intelligent and well conceived space stories. My fav is C.J. Cherryh, who has built some of the most interesting and well-designed worlds of S&F.

I've compiled some links to pages devoted to S&F writers:

• C.J.Cherryh. She is simply the best. Her Alliance-Union Universe is perhaps the most credible and coherent S&F universe. She mantanis her own home page, but some fans have built some more. Here is one of the best:Meetpoint Station
• David Brin. The Uplift universe series, and specially Earth, are among the greatest SF works of all time.
• Gregory Benford. Don't miss his Galactic Center series and his novel Timescape.
• Vernor Vinge. Have read his 'bobbles' series? A Fire Upon the Deep? If not, you are missing some great novels!
• Iain M. Banks. I Want to join the Culture!
• Larry Niven. I think I don't have to say anything about this writer. If you don't know who is he, you'll probably not interested in SF at all... There is even a newsgroup about his work.

I've been told about more internet S&F resources. Now this list is short, but I hope it will grow and grow... :-)

• Axxon is a great spanish language S&F eZine published in Argentina. It runs under plain DOS.
• Chaz Baden has put together a very comprehensive list of S&F links. Check it out.
• The Linköping S&F archive page, another great list of resources.
• This is a S&F page in spanish. It's owner has written little bios about his preferred authors. Si eres un fan español de la ciencia ficción, deberías visitarla.
• JJ Judkins has another nice collection of SF links.
• This is not an SF page! This is a serious scientific page maintained by a group of people of NASA who speculate and work in breakthru principles, like warp drives and FTL travel. The title of the page makes one dream: warp drive when?

If you know any other SF-related WWW site. please make me know. I'd like to add it to this list. Of course, all contributors will be credited ;-)
