Let's see...McCaffrey (Pern, Ship, Crystal, Tower/Pegasus, and Freedom)
Dune (prequels, original, sequels)
Heinlein (more future history, but several juvies are in my must read piles)
I know now he'd be classed as Fantasy, but Burroughs' Barsoom series.
Star Wars novels (select ones, not New Jedi Order)
Star Trek novels (old Pocket Book imprint)
Piers Anthony's Battle Circle, to me, feels more sci-fi as it is a post apocalyptic world without magic.
And a wonderfully solid read called Emergence by David Palmer that few seem to have heard of.

Holy crap, the President wrote a novel? Now I have to read it. :-)

*snicker*

You know, I never even noticed that, because I've owned that book since 1991/2.

Maybe not that few. I went to my Paperback Swap account to see about ordering it. The wait list is 46 people long. (Not the longest list I've seen, but longer than most.)

That is awesome. I have only met two people in real life who had ever heard of it.

Emergence gets mentioned a lot at cons in "best books you've never heard of" panels. I got mail from David R. Palmer... last summer? summer before last? saying that he finally had lined up a publisher and was going to publish the sequel to Threshold and a sequel to Emergence, but I think it fell through and never happened.

I'm still hoping, though.

Analog serialized the Emergence sequel, in the July/August and September 2008 issues. I don't remember if that was all of it, or if it continued into later issues as well.

Oooh, a fellow Dune lover :B! I get you're reading/have read Brian Herbert novels too (as you mention the prequels)? This Universe is so lovely and there's so much that still can be said about it.

I think there is so much more left to explore, and hope Paul of Dune is not their last collaboration.
