Concerning Series - The Guide

[Art, Stay home, stay safe.]

Just realised that we are missing the Queen of Angels miniseries by Greg Bear. Will update it when I have a few spare minutes.

[Art, Stay home, stay safe.]

Queen of Angels by Greg Bear Total Pages: 1,019

Queen of Angels - 420pg HNBN
Heads - 151pg
Moving Mars - 448pg HNBN NWBN

Adding this miniseries to our list.

I found another series we haven't talked about, the Riverside series by Ellen Kushner. The Privilege of the Sword is on our list, but is the second book in the series.

Does anyone know if this can be read by itself or does the first book, Swordspoint, need to be read to understand the second?

Re: Heads by Greg Bear is not out in Kindle and is only 121 pages long. The other two are Open Road/Portalist/Early Bird, so they come up for sale sometimes, so I have them both. I looked at the descriptions on Amazon, and the characters don't seem to be the same.

re Kushner, I have not read either of these.

I've read Moving Mars assuming it is a stand alone. I later tried to get into Queen of Angels but it didn't worked for me. So they are quite separate

Does anyone kn..."

When researching about potential series I've looked into this one, but judging from the comments here and on other sites it can be read as a standalone. It deals with events that happen a decade or two after the first book.
Then again they say that the first book was even better than this one so maybe it's worth checking out.

I've updated the list, crossing out the books we read last year.
Vorkosigan saga list is updated, crossed out the titles we are working on right now.

Art, do you mean you have moved them from "to read" to "read" ? (I'm not sure what crossing them out means.)

[Art, Stay home, stay safe.]

Scroll down this thread , my first couple of posts list all the series this group has to deal with.

Crossed out titles are the read ones

Got it, Art, thanks!

[Antti]

Thanks, Art! I noticed that Machineries of Empire is on the list twice (it's mistakenly also on the 1000-700 pg list).

We also have read the Imperial Radch series.

[Art, Stay home, stay safe.]

Thanks Antti, I've updated it.

We're doing good progress with the series too, good stuff.

I spotted one series that has gotten more titles and a nomination since our list was compiled:

Tales of the Terran Republic by Charles E. Gannon Total pages: 1,684pg 2940pg

Fire with Fire - 496pg NNBN
Trial by Fire - 640pg NNBN
Raising Caine - 548pg NNBN
Caine's Mutiny - 756pg
Marque of Caine - 500pg NNBN

Cheers Antti, I'll update it a little later.

*UPDATED*
Thanks Antti.

I am also revising the I, Robot series:

Robot by Isaac Asimov Total pages: 2,945

I, Robot - 224pg
The Rest of the Robots - 224pg
Robot Dreams - 352pg
Robot Visions - 496pg
The Positronic Man - 290pg
The Caves of Steel - 206pg HNBN
The Naked Sun - 206pg
The Robots of Dawn - 435pg HNBN
Robots and Empire - 512pg

Having read everything besides the last title in the series I may say that the revision is pretty much needed.

In order to enjoy the award-winning titles, many of these are not necessary, so here's my new suggested list:

Robot by Isaac Asimov Total pages: 1,589

I, Robot - 224pg
The Caves of Steel - 206pg HNBN
The Naked Sun - 206pg
The Robots of Dawn - 435pg HNBN
Robots and Empire - 512pg

I haven't read the final title in the list, but once I have, I will post something here

[Oleksandr, a.k.a. Acorn]

Change total pages in the 2nd group. I'm actually fine with reading larger version

Yeah, if you enjoy the universe you can appreciate it. However none of that is required reading to enjoy the award-winning titles.

Just looked over the titles in our series list and I'm so proud of our group for getting through so many series in such a short time, well done everyone.

There are still some epic series to read though, so there's that to look forward to.
