WHAT? No mention of The Martian Chronicals? Or The Illustrated Man? Farenheight 451? Let's give Ray Bradbury some credit here. Stephen King too, although he is more horrer than sci-fi, he did write Firestarter.
Quote:
10. Ben Bova's "Planetary" series
9. Dean Koontz "Tick Tock", "Seize The Night", "Fear Nothing"

I'm glad someone here mentioned Koontz and Bova. Mr. Murder, Dragon Tears, and Strangers should be required reading as examples of how to tell a story and portray characters' personalities. Bova's entire Orion series is also increadibly inventive. There was another he did I really liked but I can't remember the name of it.
