The name of the author you are looking for is: Paul Lucas.

Fair warning, his approach to potboiling means writing lots of unmitigated pornography. If you run only a search on his name you will buried under an avalanche of varied and many titles of his which are clearly such. Don't let that mislead you. When he turns his hand to mainstream science fiction genera writing he creates some engaging and enthralling reads, and without resort to a fap-fastic focus. Here, one might go so far as to say Paul Lucas is a modest echo of Ian M. Banks, for furry science fiction.

My suggestions include links to the venerable "What have you read" thread:

Creatura

>>4439

Note: I need to do a better (as in an actual) review of Creatura. I am going to give it a reread as a break from my current monomaniac study of Frederick Prokosch. Briefly, it is a post-apocalyptic story set on near future Earth. Sort of a Maltese Falcon hunt in the form of a compact disk.

The Shattered Sky

>>6090

This link contains a proper review.

>>8439

like aliens?

I didn't really like it homie but you may want to try a fire upon the deep by vernor vinge. Interesting space opera worldbuilding with humans vs anthropomorphic wolf-people aliens

>>8469

That depends on whether OP meant that Bambi is too cute or doesn't look enough anthropomorphic.

>not enjoying seeing the edgelords beating the pretenious wolves so badly they need to be saved by spaceship artillery

>not liking that Vinge glossed over the process of learning a completely different langage

>not enjoying watching the human bully the alien so much over his soykaf equipment he kills himself under the pretext of saving some kids

Bumping because I perused some furry literature at a local convention and it was all effectively pornography with a distinct flavor of edge and angst added in a failed attempt to make porn seem like a legitimate literary movement.

>>8440

I can't speak for OP but I will be taking this recommendation at my earliest opportunity. Is there a paperback edition available for those of us too pretentious to own a Kindle?

>>8523

Last time I checked Creatura is available in paperback or ebook. As I noted the paperback has a few typesetting errors in the form of an occasional mid-paragraph break.

The Shattered Sky is ebook only.

As a purely subjective personal opinion I thoroughly enjoyed and rate both novels equally. For a more objective opinion TSS was published about six years later, and there is a noticeable improvement in the strength and quality of the writing. That may help you to decide if it's down to an either/or choice
