Why do I write sci-fi? It's probably all those sci-fi books and media I consumed as a kid (and well beyond!)...
So, here's my top 5 favorite sci-fi novels (with a few bonuses and honorable mentions)! -
In Ralph Milne Farley’s 1939 scifi novel The Hidden Universe an engineer in an industrial colony notices odd things - like the length of the days and the fact that there no stars at night. Some wildly inventive imaginative ideas in this book.

Frederik Pohl’s sci-fi novel Danger Moon was published in 1951. There's trouble on the Moon - suspected sabotage at a uranium mine. Reasonably realistic in the light of what was known in 1951 but basically a very conventional story.

Kris Neville's Earth Alert! is a 1953 alien invasion sci-fi novel. A woman sets out to buy a husband. She discovers she can walk through walls and is telepathic. It's something to do with an invisible alien spaceship. Crazy, frenetic fun.

The Lunar Lichen is a 1960 sci-fi novella by Hal Clement. A geologist claims to have discovered lichens on the Moon, but did he really? Did he discover something else? This is fairly hard SF but also a tale of survival with fine suspense.

Henry Kuttner’s novel The Time Trap was written in 1938. An archaeologist is transported back in time, to a highly advanced civilisation that has technology from the distant future. A wild romp through time with plenty of exciting adventure.

Adolphe Alhaiza's Cybele, an 1891 French scientific romance. A time travel story with hypnotism and lots of eccentric ideas. A religio-scientific-political-philosophical utopian novel displaying a major lack of human understanding. Interesting.

Frederick Pohl’s scifi novel A Plague of Pythons dates from 1962. A man is about to be executed but he has a defence - he was possessed at the time. But it’s not demons doing the possessing. Lots of paranoia and despair. Good book.

The Bees of Death by Robert Moore Williams is a 1949 sci-fi novel. It starts with a phoney psychic, charlatan and con-man gaining possession of a cannonball with strange powers. And there are bee-like monsters. A diverting alien invasion tale.

Milton Lesser’s 1954 novel Slaves to the Metal Horde is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi tale, with an out-of-control robot warrior army and a plague. The Robots may or may not be totally evil. Some good ideas, some nuance, action and some romance.

Hollow Earth Tales, a collection of sci-fi stories written from 1909 to 1939 dealing with the idea of a hollow earth or undiscovered civilisations deep beneath the Earth. The stories are interestingly varied, often outrageous and generally fun.

The Space Merchants, a 1953 sci-fi novel by Frederik Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth. One of the great dystopian novels, about a future world controlled by huge corporations. They control the government. The most powerful are the advertising agencies.

Emmett McDowell's 1948 sci-fi novel Citadel of the Green Death is set in the distant future. Joel is sent as a slave to the jungle planet Asgard. There are carnivorous plants and humanoids with strangely alien technologies. Quite good.

E.C. Tubb’s Rogue Planet, published 1977, an original novel based on the Space: 1999 TV series. Crew members see and hear things that can't be there and start to go mad. Has a genuinely alien alien. Plus there's accelerated ageing. Pretty good.

Beyond the End of Space is a very early (1933) novel by John W. Campbell, before he became the prophet of Hard SF. A scientist working on the annihilation of matter ends up in another universe. Plus there are gangsters and space battles. Fun.

Jules Lermina’s light-hearted scientific romance Panic in Paris was published in 1913. It concerns an impaled body, English prize-fighters, advanced technology and the dinosaur threat to western civilisation. A madcap tongue-in-cheek romp.

J.F. Bone's Second Chance, a 1959 scifi novel. A starship pilot is stranded on a planet with a young woman who is too young to be who she is. It could be the year 2289, or 2316 or 2327. And there are non-human intelligences at work. Good story.
