Liam asked for comments on Sci-fi sci-fi authors for Traveller.
Granted the tech-level for worlds does vary. What non-scifi authors would you recommend and why/
For example some the Desmond Bagley wrote a series of action adventures in the 1960's and 70's that fit in quite well.
You can't beat John Le Carre for hard spy fiction, although Len Deighton is good too; try out "The Ipcress File" & "Funeral in Berlin" as antedote to James Bond.
Brian Callison does good sea stores and the Trapp series like "Trapp's Peace" work well in space.
I'm a great fan of Anthony Price if you like spys and millitary history you'll love this author. All his stories have an historical theme, start with either "The Labrynth Makes" or "Our Man in Camelot" for a feel of the writer.
So, lets have some suggestions.
