Science Fiction & Celtic Connections

[sydnie7]

I stumbled onto the Darkover series during the mid-1970s and think I have read them all (plus some of the "fan lit" that surrounds it). New readers should be aware that the book quality can be uneven, with some of the very early books being more juvenile while later ones are definitely adult reading! Overall it's a very worthwhile series IMHO.

I believe that Roger Zelazny used the name Tir-na Nog'th for the phantom/mirror city in the sky in his Chronicles of Amber books which I assume somehow relates to Tir-na Nog of Celtic legend.

I recently read a book called Doc Sidhe, with alternate lower tech worlds.

I really enjoy the Serrated Edge series by Mercedes Lackey, another Sidhe in the modern world setting with many celtic elements. The Sidhe in this one have advanced magic tech since they can't handle the iron in a conventional race car engine.
