An Excellent Expansive E Book

One has finished the most excellent third volume in the Expanse Series by James S A Corey - Abaddon's Gate.

A solid 4.5 stars that kept me wanting to read more. If you like hardish sci-fi and interesting characters then you shouldn't miss it. And as a bonus when the current TV series becomes a world wide hit you'll be able to snob "I read the book years ago".

And now that that's finished I'm ready to move on to my E book in my A to Z of Unread SciFi and Fantasy Authors quest.

Unfortunately there seems to be a dearth of E authors. Still, there were a few good suggestions. Mr Prada was first into the suggestion box, however one had already sampled a Ben Elton book in the distant past.

It would seem that the suggestion of The Bastard, backed up by MatrixMan, is the winner with Gardens of the Moon, a little Erickson number (that begins a decology!!), except there is a delay as one is ordering it in from a rival library service.

Therefore, in the meantime, one will proceed with Fantomas's tactfully presented suggestion of a Warren Ellis near future novel, an author whom one has read some graphic novels of.
The volume in question - Crooked Little Vein - also happens to be sitting on one's library discards pile at home, which is excellent for one's lazy book selection style.

Looking for an E Book

Given that one is simultaneously close to the finish of both an excellent read and one of so-so qualities, and that said reads clear the on-loan pile, and that the to-read pile has nothing that matches the criteria, it feels about time to crowd source the next read in ones A to Z of Unread SciFi and Fantasy Authors quest.

Therefore I once again reach out to my you, my network of ever-loyal readers, in order to crowd source my E - or at least a short-list of Es.

The Rules

Titles should be in the sci-fi and fantasy realms, or speculative fiction if you prefer.

The Author's Surname should begin with the letter E, and they should be one who's wares one has not sampled before.
Unlike D, it seems that one has been avoiding E authors in the last 9 years and there are scant any of them recorded in one's reading sites. However off the top of ones head one already has Eddings, Effinger and Egan under one's belt.

Bonus points if the book is available in the work catalogue

Even more bonus points, and the win I guess, if you place your recommendation into one's hands.
