Argon: Favourites

1: A Bettered Life by Michael Lindgren
This is one of the stories I would have liked to find in airport bookstores, back when I bought paperbacks to pass the time. It is a beautiful little character development piece, with likeable people and an excellent plot. Technically, it's superb! A Nobel Price winning author has writer's block and spends his time travelling across the country, giving paid readings at bookstores and in universities, slaying co-eds on the side. He has his awakening, plus an end to his writer's block, when he wanders by chance into a used book store owned by a rather pretty young lady. Read it and enjoy it; you will hardly find better writing for free.
2: The Grim Reaper by rlfj
One of the greatest stories on this site, it engages the reader from the first moment. High school romance, sports, military conflict as well as cops and robbers are all included, touching virtually every popular genre and mixing them superbly. If you are at SOL, this is a must read.
3: The Preacher Man by hammingbyrd7
Hammingbyrd7 has created an amazing universe. In a theocracy, many hundred years in the future, society is based on an ancient computer code and on beliefs rooted in something reminiscent of radical Islam. This is the story of a young man who dedicates his amazing abilities to undermine the system and to free the enslaved women. The most amazing thing about this serial is the care with which hammingbyrd crafted his universe. The plot is nothing short of flawless. Technically, I found no fault either, and the appeal was very high almost to the end. If you look for an excellent read, try The Preacher Man.
4: Serendipity by Tedbiker
Ted is the skipper of his own sailing ketch and know as a ladies' man, but when Grace charters his boat for a circumnavigation of Britain, he is quickly smitten by the slim young woman whose innocent sensuality is impossible to resist. Tedbiker has written quite a number of fine tales for SOL, but for me, Serendipity is the most engaging.
5: Shasta's Tale by colt45
With the opening sentences, the story grips you, never to let go. An enslaved girl, violated for years, finds the opportunity to strike back, and boy, does she! Strong female lead characters, a male lead that appeals to the male ego, and a credible plot, all make for an enthralling story.
6: The Solitary Arrow by Mack the Knife
It's Tolkien, but with sex. Set in Tolkien's world of humans, elves, and orcs, Mack the Knife creates a set of wonderful characters. A human ranger, an overseer of the ducal forest, saves an elven maid and becomes entangled in her quest. There are sorcerers and traitors enough to make their travels a great adventure. I could also name "Murder Isle", also by Mack the Knife, but alas, the story is unfinished. Well, there is always hope, isn't there, Mack?
