Any story in which the reader comes to love the characters, and dreads the day he or she arrives at the last page, is a great story. Unfortunately, the author cannot remember all the titles he has enjoyed during his life, so the following are only examples:

Canopus in Argos, Doris Lessing
The Stone and the Flute, Hans Bemmann
The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien
The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley

Readers who are moved to dig deeper into the scientific, psychological, philosophical, or religious themes of the NEBADOR stories may find something of interest among these books:

Symbolic Logic, Irving M. Copi
On The Loose, Terry and Renny Russell
Free-Range Kids, Leonore Skenazy
Intelligence Applied, Robert J. Sternberg
Instrument/Commercial Manual, Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc.
Secrets of UFO Technology, Kenneth W. Behrendt
The Urantia Book
The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran
The Long Descent, John Michael Greer
Type Talk, Otto Kroeger and Janet M. Thuesen
The Elements of Reasoning, David A. Conway and Ronald Munson
