Top 10 Best Science Fiction Book Series

This list is for series of science fiction books, not individual books.

The Top Ten

  1. Dune Chronicles - Frank Herbert

    It is amazing. They could have added so many ideas, but Frank died. I have a possible idea for the final chapter, completely different than Brian Herbert's, featuring made-up characters. But anyhoo, Dune rules and all other books SUCK.

    Dune has six entries besides what might have been a one-track adventure. There are actually a lot of options that open and release freedom to the reader, in my opinion.

    I love Dune! Reading about Paul Atreides and the mysteries of Arrakis sweeps you away to their world. Iron Maiden even did a song about the book, called To Tame A Land.

  2. Ender's Game Series - Orson Scott Card

    I found the first Ender's Game Author's Definitive Edition, which I thought had become a misplaced item. The Hugo winner is still in my grasp and is worth another read. It is a fine science fiction novel to have on the shelves or in a bookcase.

    Orson Scott Card is a great writer of our times, and his work is definitely worth more than another glance. I am glad these books are around. It has been an awesome summer so far, finding what is nice again, which feels pretty good!

    Ender's Game! This list was basically an impossible decision to make since I like so many of the series on this list. Ender's Game, however, is something I can go back and read over and over and never get bored with it. It's just that good.

  3. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series - Douglas Adams

    Very interesting and humorous series!

  4. The Foundation Trilogy - Isaac Asimov

    One of the best science fiction series of all time. Foundation and Empire is my favorite.

  5. The Dark Tower Series - Stephen King

  6. The Giver Quartet - Lois Lowry

    I am not a big fan of science fiction. I read Asimov and was rather bored. I also read Verne and some other classics, and found them boring as well.

    However, The Giver was amazing. It was emotional, chilling, and beautiful. It is the best apocalypse book as well, though The Hunger Games is really good too.

    Several other science fiction books by Lois Lowry are very good as well. Ender's Game and Artemis Fowl are pretty good too. Otherwise, there isn't a single science fiction book I really like.

    An unloving, deprived world with hardly any emotion. Scary.

  7. Artemis Fowl Series - Eoin Colfer

    Friendly literature with a plot about crime in eight or more novels. Can get used to that!

    A great mix of fantasy and science fiction.

  8. Escape from Genopolis - Tess Berry-Hart

    A chilling world with creepy genetic experiments.

  9. Space Trilogy - C. S. Lewis

    Out of the Silent Planet is the best. The technology is primitive, but, just like in The Chronicles of Narnia, there are good morals.

  10. The Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Michael Vey Series - Richard Paul Evans

  12. ?

    Divergent Trilogy - Veronica Roth

    13. The Contenders

  13. Revelation Space Series - Alastair Reynolds

  14. Hyperion Cantos - Dan Simmons

  15. The Forever War Series - Joe Haldeman

  16. Unwind Dystology - Neal Shusterman

  17. Tripods Trilogy - John Christopher

  18. The Book of the New Sun - Gene Wolfe

  19. Culture Series - Iain M. Banks

  20. Mars Trilogy - Kim Stanley Robinson

  21. Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold

    Loving McMaster's work on the Vorkosigan Saga. I hope it continues to exist and expand in the future.

    The only drawback is that it might be set too far along in the future. It's a marvelous feat of science fiction by the author. The wording is beautiful and flows simply.

    I'm not certain, but I might favor the Robot series by Asimov a bit more. After reading Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen in full, my perspective might change and I may consider this the best novel.

  22. Dragonriders of Pern Series - Anne McCaffrey

  23. Honor Harrington Series - David Weber

    I saw the Honorverse at the bookstore in the area called Indigo. It's in good condition and proportion. It doesn't take up the whole shelf, but there's a lot built into a smaller canon.

    It's a delight to grab one and read. It makes summer a joy. My fondness for this series might shape how I think about it once I have it, especially in relation to my own interests.

  24. Incarceron Series - Catherine Fisher

  25. Mind Dimensions Series - Dima Zales

  26. The Sprawl Trilogy - William Gibson

  27. Zones of Thought Series - Vernor Vinge
