Greg Bear — 9 titles in the rankings, first published between 1985 and 2010. They average 7.6, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 4 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note American science fiction writer known for big ideas grounded in real science. Blood Music, his highest rated, follows a researcher who injects himself with intelligent cells that begin to remake the world. Eon, his most read, sends explorers into an asteroid that is bigger inside than out. The Forge of God, Darwin’s Radio and his novels for the Halo and Foundation universes follow; his scores sit close together, with Hull Zero Three lowest. Start with Blood Music or Eon.
