imo the best authors fast-start with epic action, and the strong worldbuilding happens almost 'behind the scenes' with the odd concept-drop here and there

Henry David Thoreau: "Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes." I feel that way about learning new names, (so Russian novels are out).
