I'd make a case for Alfred Bester, also Harry Harrison.

sry.
I listened to "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi but I didn't get into it. Mind you the first audio-book I'd listened to in a long time.

And for sci-fi comedy of course Douglas Adams.

Peter F Hamilton, soon finished with Pandoras Star.

Indeed. But I've read all Dune-books by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. In a way, I died a bit inside by doing so. :(

I actually avoided reading the brian herbert books, despite strong temptation. I figured they could only bring disappointment. Now I'm so happy I missed out :)

Speaking of the real mr. herbert though, "the white plague" was good. Not all that 'sci-fi' too, it's probably entirely within the realm of possibility (and probably black ops military research budgets ;)
