It's not obscure, but not many people talk about it much anymore. His best novel, in my opinion. Wish he'd written a sequel like he planned to.

Lovelock, by Card and Kidd. I spoke to Scott about this novel, and even he didn’t like it. I never met anyone who read it.

Another that does not come up in conversation often is Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen by H. Beam Piper.

Really obscure? Hmmm...uhhh...I really don't know how obscure most of the stuff I read is, honestly. The interwebs has killed traditional obscurity. I guess the only thng that comes close is a mostly forgotten trilogy that was a bestseller back when t was first published - The Time Master series by Louise Cooper.

IMO (and to my surprise) the “Retief” series by Keith Laumer is obscure!

Martians Go Home.

I had to look up the author, Frederick Brown.

But I remembered the original illustrator, Kelly Freas

Pretty good book, horrible movie.

So-so book, never made into a movie that I know of.

You can see I had a thing for catastrophism.

The whole recluse series by L. E. Modesitt. Outstanding fantasy, a series that rivals Tolkien in its other worldliness (?), yet far less dark. Fun to read and reread.
