    Does anybody here have a favorite fiction novel?

    Post yours.

    Brief summary too if you want.

    Mine:

    Johannes Cabal: The Necromancer, and the sequel Johannes Cabal: The Detective. by Jonathan H. Howard.

    Brief plot. First book.

    Johannes Cabal (a young scientist) sells his soul to Satan in order to learn about Necromancy. Or magic involving the dead. His goal is to defeat death. In The Necromancer he needs his soul back to continue his studies.

    So him and Satan strike a wager.

    Cabal must replace his soul, with 100 others. Not by means of death, but by voluntary contract. And he is loaned a travelling carnival in order to do it.

    (Honourable mention: Survivor by Chuck Palahnuik. Author of Fight Club)

    So...

    Post yours!

    Tom Clancy's Without Remorse

    In short a former Vietnam era Navy SEAL (John Clark) has his family killed by a drug cartel and he goes crazy on them. That's the short version but of course it being a Clancy novel it has alot of detail to it.

    I will agree 100% without hesitation that this is the best fiction novel ever written.

    Sounds like what would happen if the Punisher didn't suck.

    Yeh exactly! I had heard that this was going to made into movie. Hopefully by a good director. Ridley Scott would be a good choice.

    Not much of a novel guy. I love anything Orwell... especially Burmese Days.
