One really interesting author is Terry Goodkind... his stroies are in a series and he has created new powers and races and his books also convey a sort of philosophy...

The first book, Wizards First Rule is your basic book about a boy in a rural environment being taken into a strange quest (his guide is a confessor [woman with very special powers]) to defeat a guy trying to take over the world...
And he does it through his use of the Wizards First Rule - "People are stupid." Its really fascinating..

The other books, however, deviate greatly from your normal fantasy... he gets magic powers and stuff and is trying to unite the world against an EVIl communist-type order, but more often than not they refuse them. Lots of things happen in this war, such as in book 6 he is taken by a disillusioned servant of the enemy to teach him how righteous their cause is, and he ends up bringing about a rebellion in their capital city...

An excellent site is http://www.terrygoodkind.comProphets Inc.</a>
