Have you read Allegiance? I don't remember if Choices of One or Allegiance is first but I loved both of them. I just started reading Zahn's Dragonback series based on a rec here, and I'm enjoying it.

I'm currently in the middle of David McCullough's "The Great Bridge" which is the history of the Brooklyn Bridge. I love bridges, so this is fascinating.

I have! I'm going through my collection chronologically, so Allegiance was right before this one basically.

I think I'm the one that rec'd Dragonback to you so I'm glad you like it! MY whole family does--even my 94-year-old grandma. The concept of Draycos' race is super cool, and I like how each book has its own story while building more and more stuff towards the climax. Where are you in the series? 'Slave' and 'Herdsman' are my favorites!

I just finished the first two, so Thief and Soldier? My local library had the first two, but now I have to wait for the third one to come in.

I think Scoundrels was the only Zahn book I didn't like. I have so many to read books that I don't have time to go back and reread. And most are buried in boxes. I have a feeling I'll be in for quite a surprise when I move and realize just how many books I have.

I love Zahn's book in general. Afte becoming obsessed with his writing in the Star Wars books, I picked up his Cobra books and they were good. So I'll read anything by him. I just love the way he writes characters.

I guess I'll need to add those to my massive pile of to read books.

He really knows how to blend plot and characters without dragging everything down and keeping it all consistent.

indeed! If you want a good standalone book from him, my sister LOVES Icarus Hunt, and my fave is Angelmass although some people don't like that one because "MY GOD HE'S STIL TALKING ABOUT BLACK HOLES??" (that's what Zahn had been doing his PhD on before his thesis adviser died and he was like 'fuckit imma do the writing thing full time'). Green and the Grey, Manta's Gift, A Coming of Age, and the Quadrail series aren't my faves of him although they're still Zahn and thus still good; Deadman Switch and Warhorse and Spinneret are some early Zahn with some really neato/clever subjects, Soulminder is a recent offering that's a nice change of pace as a straight-up 'concept' book (invent a technology, what are the results of that tech? without a real 'villain' or lots of high drama and plot), Cobra and Blackcollar series resemble each other but are both good, Conqueror's Trilogy is super awesome in that it has a fascinating alien race and worldbuilding and a great Zahn OHHHHH OKAY 'twist', and if you can get your hands on a short story collection he does well in that format too!

...sorry you set off this Zahn fangirl, lol.

Basically, just read all of Zahn. Got it.

Honestly, none of his books have ever disappointed me and to hear everyone else recommend that I keep going is encouraging.
