Shibumi - Trevanian

The best adventure novel ever. A westerner learns the highest oriental martial arts, and masters their most exotic sensual arts too. He is a modern day Buddha seeking peace in a dangerous, complex world. How he gets there is not as important as the fact that he achieved that state of timeless grace, and lived to enjoy it!

Dune - Frank Herbert

This is a clear, prophetic vision of life as it could become in the future. The witches of Dune have great powers and great influence. Their skills of muscle control, voice control, and their intuition into human nature are unparalleled! The book is scattered with fascinating snippets of wisdom, and overall is couched in a profound philosophy.

Neuromancer - William Gibson

Everything is electronic now - commerce, medicine, socialization, sensuality, and sometimes even sex. Kase is an swank electronic "cowboy" who can jack into the electronic synapse of the world through a device that connects directly to his neural cortex. The web is patrolled by a malicious artificial intelligence, out to destroy Kase and his independent kind.

White Ninja - Eric V. Lustbader

Long before the Jedi there were the Ninja. There were good and bad ones, just like in Star Wars. But these Jedi were real, and they became so because of training, and they used their skills in the modern world. I think having a Jedi on your Board of Directors would be pretty cool - and I'm sure the competition would be terrified!

Lion of Ireland - Morgan Llywelyn

A national bestseller about the last great King of Ireland. It's a fast paced, dynamic trip back to the days of broad swords and pagans. Women, though, had just as much a right as men to be warriors, leaders - and kings (well, queens). Amidst the adventure, the mystical powers are strong; so too are the subtle powers of the woman who would be Queen.

One Man Against Rome - Harold Lamb

The first historical novel I ever read - I was probably 10 at the time - it's still the one I remember the most vividly. It's the story of Hannibal's war against the mighty Rome. It was a war he and his Celt mercenaries were destined to lose, but which they still had to attempt. But for the lack of adequate Sea Power, they would've won.

Foundation - Isaac Asimov

A classic from the early days of science fiction, in many ways it pantomimes the modern world. The Old World Order is crumbling into barbarism, and a small group of psychologists form a Foundation devoted to preserving the arts, science, and technology that is quickly disappearing or being so overly complicated as to be useless.
