Science Fiction Books
 Title (with Amazon.com link)  Rating   Book Cover   Author   Description 
Ender's Game 10 O. Scott Card One of the all time sci-fi classics. A good read even if you aren't into this genre at all. A must read if you like SciFi.
The Time Traveler's Wife 9.8 Audrey Niffenegger One of the best, and most mindblowing books I have ever read. It’s the story of a man who can time travel and his long, and time twisted relationship with his wife. So mind warping with the time element totally chaotic yet totally gripping throughout. Just a great, great, great read and you don't have to be sci-fi fan at all to enjoy it.
Lucifer's Hammer 9.5 Niven Pournelle The story of a comet hitting the earth is amazing in its complexity and the drama that unfolds after impact.
Moonfall 9.3 Jack McDevitt Story of a comet hitting the moon and what happens afterwards. Good disaster tale with interesting characters and some well thought out future discoveries.
Moonwar 9 Ben Bova
Mars 9 Ben Bova
