Orson Scott Card has a wonderful ***?ries you might enjoy.It is ***?t in the U.S. “that might have been” in the mid 1800’s.
It’s called The Tales of Alvin Maker.
The first ****?k is called ***?venth Son.
Give it a try, you’ll really enjoy it.

how about CONAN or RED SONJA by Howard–is ***?ntastic
Treasure Island by Stevenson is quite ****?d
or even
“a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” by Mark ****?in—is an unbelievably great story!

but some suggestions are to go to amazon and type in the others you do like and other authors that are similar to your liking will pop up ; another is to look at revies and synopsis of authors ***?ople here suggest so that you can ultimately decide what you like
i think it would also help if you were a bit more specific ; do you read ones that involve magic?
theres also romance or vamp historical ****?ks

I really like George R.R. Martin, the ***?me of Thrones ***?ries. Also, for Historical fiction, the Rome ***?ries by Colleen McCullough is awesome. I know it’s not medevil, ****? they are the best historical fiction ***?ries. It starts with ‘The first man in Rome’. Hope this helps!

I’m not into sci-fi, ****? for historical fiction, check Bernard Cornwell.

You may like Christopher Stasheff. His ****?ks are a bit more sci-fi and less history, ****? they deal a bit more with the meaning of being a christian during midevil ***?mes. I particularly recommend the Wizard in Rhyme ***?ries. The first ****?k “Her Majesties Wizard is about a literature student who finds himself in a midevil European ***?tting where poetry has the power of magic. Along the way he encounters a princess, a drunken dragon, and a priest who turns into a werewolf whenever he has impure thoughts.
Another ***?ries of his ****?ks includes The Warlock of Gramarye This ***?t deals with an ***?tronaught who lands on a planet and is mistaken for a magical being because of his technology.
Of course if your up for a ****?d read, you could always check out Sir Thomas Malory’s definitive Le Morte D’Arthur - This ****?k is the definitive legend of King Arthur from before his birth, to pulling the Sword in the Stone and becoming king, to his death.

George RR Martin–A Song of Ice and Fire (someone mentioned this earlier…but they said ‘Game of Thrones,’ which is the first ****?k, ****? not the ***?ries name)
Scott Lynch–The Lies of Locke Lamora (Book 1 of the Gentleman ******* ***?ries, Lynch’s debut, ****? it is excellent)
I’d also suggest getting copies of the Legends anthologies, which are composed of short novellas by some of the masters of modern ***?ntasy–Martin, Pratchett, Card, McCaffery, Le Guin, Jordan, etc., etc., that way you could ***?e which writers you like without having to start a whole new ***?ries.

Patricia Kenneally Morrisson, she does a lot of mediaevil ***?ntasy stuff, ****?d stuff too.
July 26th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
I ***?cond hott.dawg™’s reccomendation. Card is an excellent author.

The Child *****?n and The High *****?n—- Nancy McKenzie
You just can’t beat Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley, IMO.
Try ****?ning ***?lcon by Josepha Sherman
Lackey’s historical works are pretty decent.
You’d probably enjoy Katherine Kurtz’s Deryni ***?ries.

David Eddings, the Belgariad and Mallorean ***?ries, for epic ***?ntasy.
Connie Willis, The Doomsday ****?k and To Say Nothing of the Dog, for historical fiction.

All the other answers notwithstanding, I think your best bet is to go to Baen’s ****?ks on the web and sign up. From there you can go to Baen’s Bar or the chat room and other sights including reading free e-books. And ***? an added bonus many of the authors’ who write some of the ****?ks you are looking for also go either to the ‘bar’ or to the chat room. There is even a forum where you can ***?k questions and get answers from other ***?ople and from the authors’. Enjoy!
