Stephen R. Donaldson writes epic fantasy and science fiction known for difficult protagonists, moral conflict and long series that demand patience from the reader. Lord Foul's Bane begins the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant with a man from the modern world who is transported to the Land and refuses to believe it is real, even as his actions have serious consequences there. The later Covenant books deepen the setting's history and ethical conflicts, while the Gap Cycle moves into dark space opera involving corporations, piracy and political manipulation. Donaldson's prose is dense and serious, fitting epic fantasy, portal fantasy and morally abrasive speculative fiction rather than light adventure. Read more Less
