"Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible"
The Diamond Throne
David Eddings
Sparhawk is a Pandion Knight, and the protector of the queen. Having been in exile for 10 years he returns to his homeland and finds his Queen Ehlana in a state of suspended animation after falling ill. Sephrenia, tutor of magic to the Pandion Knights has encased Ehlana in Diamond in order to keep her alive until a cure can be found.
Time is in short supply however as the power needed to keep this "Diamond Throne" intact is being drained from the life of 13 volunteers, Sephrenia among them. Sparhawk must find the cure and defeat those who seek to overthrow the throne.

Ill Wind
Kevin J Anderson and Doug Beason
The largest oil spill in history prompts the oil company to release an untested designer virus to break down the oil spill. This designer virus is an oil eating microbe designed to consume and break down anything made from petrocarbons like oil, petrol... and plastic.
What starts out as an ecological disaster story turns into an apocalyptic vision of mankinds struggle to survive without oil and plastic. Sounds trivial until you actually start to think how much we rely on these versatile materials. No lubrication for moving parts means no electricity, which means no heating, refrigeration, lighting etc. No plastic means no computers, televisions, radios or anything else electrical for that matter. No transport, no music (CD's, tapes and LP's), no double glazed windows (plastic frames). The list is endless, in the end most of mankind would likely be reduced to a very simple life of the farmer or hunter gatherer.
Written with an unforgiving style, this novel is rare in that it really makes you think, and also helps you to appreciate just how lucky we are.
