Anyway, I also strongly recommend Heroes Die by Matt Stover. It's very pulpy and probably the most blunt "fantasy AND scifi" book - people in a scifi future figure out a way to Sliders their way into a fantasy universe, and they use this technology to get people from Earth to act like DND esque murderhobos to make snuff films with dragons. It's a good story about punching people, how hosed up capitalism is, and different strains/paths of fascism.

This sounds interesting. Matt Stover (and also Aaron Allston) wrote some of the only non-terrible Star Wars books (notably the novelization of Episode 3 which is so much better than the movie it's startling) so I'm curious to see what he can do when he's not playing in someone else's sandbox.

And speaking of recommendations, if you were ever interested in Star Wars and can still stand to read licensed fiction, read the Ep3 novelization.

Love to read a book with a slur for a name.
