Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
Pre-eminent Fantasy and Sci Fi
Because Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have co-authored so many books together, I am lumping them together on the same page – although they have written other fantasy books and science fiction novels independently or with other co-writers. Since the publication of their Dragonlance series Weis and Hickman have put their own unique stamp on epic fantasy. Millions of readers have enjoyed their imaginative world-building, rich characterization, and intricate storylines. And, although quite prolific, the standard of writing has remained excellent, as well as their imaginations – always maintaining rich and varied plots or storylines, characterisation and locales. Nothing seems to be strained or contrived – even after so many books. Basically, listed here are their joint efforts, plus some of the books written non-jointly.Of course, some of their books belong in the science fiction section …… but what the heck! I had enough trouble sorting out what was what – chronicles, anthropologies, series and more – their websites aren’t exactly user friendly. Included are basically those I have read. There are some in the various Dragonlance series that I am sure I have read – but I can’t remember which – so they don’t appear here. I haven’t read any of Hickman’s other efforts, so they are not included here.
