Majipoor Series

Author: Robert Silverberg

At the core of all the best science fiction series is good story telling in one form or the other. I mean, who wants to read only about novel ideas and grand concepts if there isn't anything outside of that -- you might as well just read a science manual! What drives this series is consistent excellent story telling with wonderful characters and a plot that delivers. There's mystery, action, adventure, romance, and a wonderfully fascinating world that keeps you captivated the whole way through. And plot twists? It has those too. And while huge ideas and concepts are not explored as in some of the other great works of science fiction, the awesome story, mystery, and great characters more than make up for it. If you are looking for a great series that will actually keep you enthralled, this series is your fix -- especially if you like those vagabond-becomes-hero type of stories. We would expect nothing less from a Science Fiction Grand Master. This series is like eating meat and potatoes after several days of dieting. Delicious. Eat up, there is no shortage of stories to dine on. His Majipoor Series were published beginning in 1980. There are eight novels in the series. In addition Silverberg has more than 67 other novels and he has won Hugos and Nebula awards.
