But when challenged by the likes of Mervyn Peake, China Mieville and M John Harrison, Erikson can hold on to his position because of the excellent worldbuilding, but Martin may have excellent characterisation and plots, so do all these other authors.
Whoa Martin is still No. 2 for me but Mieville and Peake are excellent. Can't remember if I've read much of Harrison what's he like Brys, anyone???
