"A Secret Atlas" series...don't remember the author's name
I would highly recommend anything by Michael Stackpole.
Otherwise, you didnt mention JRR Tolkien, and I would say he is as good as it gets in Fantasy.
Robert E Howard is another giant of the field. Considered the father of the "Sword and Sorcery" fantasy. He was the creator of Conan, King Kull, Soloman Kane and Bran Mak Morn.
Edgar Rice Burroughs was a contemporary of Howard during the "Pulp" era. Burroughs is also excellent. He isnt as "literary" as Tolkien or Howard, but he was one of the greatest writers of action ever. He created Tarzan and John Carter of Mars.
Burroughs also has an extensive library of work, over 70 some odd novels. He does like to repeat his yarns, many are basically a standard adventure tale where a badazz hero saves a beautiful princess. But he always delivered when it came to action.
Tarzan of the Apes and A Princess of Mars are seminal sci/fi fantasy adventure tales.
If you like the Pulps, Kenneth Robeson's Doc Savage series is also highly entertaining. They are more like novellas, never exceeding 150 pages, but are exciting snack sized stories.
Kenneth Robeson was a pen name for a fellow by the name of Lester Dent, and I think he only wrote the first 31? Doc Savage yarns, so I cannot speak to the quality of anything after that. Doc Savage is unfortunately difficult to find, have only been successful in acquiring 12 original Savage stories.
Good luck in finding someone you enjoy. I hope you find at least one of the above recommendations useful. 🙂
