The Best SF Novels
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Most SF fans agree that there are three novels which define great science fiction. They are:
Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein
Dune by Frank Herbert
However, there are several other very good SF novels which may suit your fancy:
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
The Running Man by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King)
Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
The ultimate acid test for any Science Fiction novel is that the inevitable feature film which the book spawns must be horribly unfaithful to the novel.
