Novel recommendations

[norwich36]

Computer update, for those who care: it's still somewhere in the bowels of FedEx, and supposedly will be delivered to a facility near me tomorrow. Maybe. I think the computer gods are trying to tell me something, really.

Anyway, I am once again asking my flist for suggestions, this time for sci-fi and fantasy novel recommendations, since I have to put something on my amazon wishlist under $50 for a family gift exchange, and I don't honestly have any good ideas, since when I see a novel I want to read I either buy it or get it at the library. So--read anything good lately?

(I already have the latest two Connie Willis books, and I'm not getting the new Robin McKinley, since I've heard it ends on a cliffhanger and she never does write sequels of things. That pretty much exhausts my knowledge of "recent things I'd want to read in scifi/fantasy.")

Have you read "The Company" series by Kage Baker? The first couple books are so so, but the series as a whole is pretty amazing.

I have not--thank you for the rec!

I second this rec! The first book, especially, is really a scene setting one, but I spent years waiting for each next book in the series.
