Great deal of fun. With Terry Pratchett facing severe medical problems Martinez looks to be one of the best new go to guy for some humor with your fantasy. Give him a try, I certainly enjoyed his writing.

Sequel to "Dead Six". Lot of action and fast paced book. Don't have to read Dead Six first but would recommend it if you think you might like the series or have read other Correia novels. Personally I like Dead Six more than Swords of Exodus but still enjoyed the book. Both books end on something of a cliff hanger and leave you wanting the sequel to hurry up an appear. So far have enjoyed pretty much anything Correia has written. Don't know anything about Kupari's work other than this series.

Another good book by Modesitt in the Recluce series. As usual he writes a story that follows logic in how the character acts, thinks and relates to the world in which he lives. Modesitt has a back ground in Econ and Gov't service which usually is reflected in his stories. This is actually too the good. He doesn't bury under dry facts or theories, but he does put some restraints on what and how his characters act and the impact of their actions on the community around them. While this is a fantasy so his hero must be larger than life, Modesitt helps ground his character by being concerned with the ethics of their actions. They consider why they have to use force and why they have to act. They look at the result and consider if that was the only way or if their future actions could be different. Big thumbs up to virtually everything he has written.
