Opher Goodwin’s (AKA Ron Forsythe) Top Sci-Fi novels Here is a list of some of my top Sci-Fi books (all available in paperback or kindle and some in Hardback):

A Science Fiction story like no other. | Neanderthal: Amazon.co.uk: Forsythe, Ron: 9798393554262: Books |
| The Pornography Wars A futuristic pornographic film set | The Pornography Wars takes political satire and social comment (with a liberal dash of humour) into a new dimension.

A campaign to give humans rights is being fought. Will the humans find themselves controlled and back in the sex movie, or will they be free? | Unintended Consequences: Amazon.co.uk: Forsythe, Ron: 9798356009471: Books |

| The Gordian Fetish Humour deployed to show the flaws in society. Will humans be saved? | How important is consciousness? How rare is it in the universe? It is incredibly rare but not many people here on Earth seem to care about that. But the Gordian’s do – they value it – they seek it out and look to protect it. They have an institute funded by their government that is geared to the conservation of endangered alien sentient beings. Unfortunately a new Gordian leader has come along who believes in austerity. He is threatening to close the institute. Humans are sentient and have a modicum of intelligence. They can hardly be termed endangered though. There are 4000 billion of them. But they are incredibly interesting. They have sex. They also have politics and religion. They pretend to be clever and civilised but they are nowhere near as clever and civilised as they think they are. Most Gordian’s are intrigued by humans. They find sex astounding and humans cute. Being cute and having sex might just be their saving graces. | The Gordian Fetish: Amazon.co.uk: Forsythe, Ron: 9781981947973: Books |
