My knowledge of Sci-Fi novels is not extensive, so I incorporated the help of my husband, who is a die hard Star Wars fan, and lover of select Sci-Fi novels.
Listed here are his favorites.


Nightfall
Because of its six suns, the planet Kalgash is bathed in perpetual sunlight.
However, once every 2,049 years all six suns are eclipsed, plunging the planet into total darkness and causing widespread madness that results in the civilization's complete destruction, thus allowing the cycle to begin again.
Only a handful of people on the planet Kalgash are prepared to face the truth--that their six suns are setting all at once for the first time in 2,000 years, signaling the end of civilization!
A very well written Sci-Fi novel.



Gateway
Gateway is the story of the discovery of an ancient spaceport of the Heechee, a long-dead civilization.
Each spaceship found at the port is operable, but so highly advanced that the propulsion system and the destination for which it is programmed are incomprehensible to humans.
A few brave adventurers dare to travel in the ships in a kind of lottery system. Occasionally, one of the Heechee ships lands at a site that is filled with undiscovered artifacts, and the human riders share in the financial rewards these discoveries can bring.
This novel is harder to explain than it is to read.


Mars-Collection
John Carter of Mars Collection
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
John Carter is a Virginia Civile War officer, who is transported mysteriously to Mars. There he has many adventures, marries the beautiful Dejah Thoris and raises a family. Includes A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, The Warload of Mars, Thuvia Maid of Mars, and The Chessmen of Mars.
These are probably the first sci-fi novels i ever read.
They are now only available in Electronic Paperback.


Kingdom of Cages
Kingdom of Cages-Sarah Zettel-2001
The end seems near. The farflung outposts that humans have planted among the stars are drying up, victims of degenerating environments, disease, bad planning, and failing food supplies. Finally, in a desperate move, the scattered remnants of the human race converge on a planet, believed to be a near match to earth. But Pandora, true to its name, is a planet that conceals puzzles-inside-puzzles. Looking down for the first time from the space station, Chena Trust can hardly imagine what horrors and murders await her
My husband just read this and insisted I add it to the site.
