The Eight by Katherine Neville(sort of like the Da Vinci Code, but way better written and not so pretentious), War For The Oaks by Emma Bull(One of the best-written fantasy novels I've ever read, integrating rock music into the story. Totally readable and not fluffy) & Changer by Jane Lindskold, one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy novels, with an original take on the "immortals among us" theme.
