Collaborative writing has resulted in some truly excellent books, but it takes just the right team to get there. Last week we asked you to nominate and vote for your favorite co-written books and you turned in dozens of great nominations!
Before we get to the list of our final contenders, we'd like to give honorable mention to two writing teams nominated in the opening round: Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Anne Scarborough, and Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson were two teams nominated without specified titles and so despite receiving dozens of votes, we did not advance them. Nonetheless, both writing teams succeeded in writing compelling and adventurous sci-fi worth checking out if you haven't already.
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.

AM Stirling has emerged as one, if not the top writer over the last 15 years. I am surprised that books he has to written, the General, for instance, have not even made the list. Possibly it takes ommisions like this to wake people like me up!
