We have serious appreciation for authors who start off strong with the opening book in a series and then raise the bar with the next book(s). Lucky for us, there are a lot of them!
Last week, we asked for your nominations for sci-fi sequels that were remarkably better than the first book in the series. In that first round of voting, you were able to nominate and vote for as many titles as you wanted, but now...
Now, it's time to decide.
We narrowed down the list of your nominations to the ten most voted for, and now it's time to figure out what the best ones are out of this group!
*As alway this list is made up by combining votes from this blog and our Facebook group.

I guess I havent read any of those books so I won’t vote. Right now I’m reading Raymond l. Weils last book. He passed away. He , in my opinion, was one hell of a writer and he will be sorely missed. It’s called War For the Empire. The Forgotten Empire series. Anyway I thought it would be nice to mention him here so you all could read some. Hope you add me. Thank you Matthew Radford.
