I would like to nominate John Myers Myers' Silverlock as one of the
great works of "contemporary" fantasy. Who will argue?
A personal favorite which I did not see listed was "When Worlds Collide"
and its sequel "After Worlds Collide". These two novels are very much
like many mainstream novels in some ways, but they are not boring, like
so many mainstream novels. The story is fairly fast-paced, the people in
it are interesting (for the most part), and all in all these are not bad
as just plain "literature", let alone SF.
