Might be good to be able to actually vote for more than one, this round, lol
Thanks for pointing that out! We’ve fixed the issue and you can now vote for multiple. 🙂
Thank you
Doesn’t work if you are also adding a name, it seems.
The four gods are at the top of the list. The others, while good to excellent, stand in their shadow.
I would like to nominate Anne McCaffrey. I believe she has made a significant contribution to the genre! Thanks.
E.E Doc. Smith, John Ringo, Patrick Tilley, Harry Harrison (The Stainless Steel Rat) a few extra names and maybe for an outsider Robert Asprin for Phules 🙂
Well it was nice to be able to vote for multiple authors this round, but that multiple equals 10, and I had to bounce around the list to keep at 10, but I think that about 14 authors would have been voted on by me this round. I had to change a few around but…
Bit surprised Haldeman had to be added by a visitor!
Paul Anderson
Poul Anderson?
Does anyone think of H.P. Lovecraft? Horror but still sci fi….
How is Ursula Le Guin not on here?
Jack Vance
Not even a nod for Clifford D. Simak? That was, you know, Isaac Asimov’s favorite sci-fi writer.
