I have noticed a weird pattern.

The number one book on this list, "Blood in the Skies (The Hellfire Chronicles, #1)," has thirteen votes, all of them number one (i.e. it has 1300 points). Most of the people who voted for it, if you look at their voting records, have voted for very little else anywhere on GoodReads (Although most of them have voted this one book their number one choice on many, many other lists).

Okay, maybe it's a good book, but then why is it all the same people voting it their number one choice (and not voting for much else anywhere), and nobody else voting for it?

I find it weird too. I created this list to show just not well-known works of the genre (including graphic novels and role playing games) because I realized that the same people always vote for the same books and here I encounter the same problem. :/ I expect that list shows the other books that I included and not the usual "suspects". Thanks for your sharing your opinion, Alessandra.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder about roleplaying games. I just voted for "Space 1889," my introduction to steampunk back in 1988.
