I'm a big fan of scifi in general, especially the military genre.

 

I'm currently reading David Weber's Harrington series, and it's awesome. I'm at book 5 now, and already bought the next 3. I'm reading one a week. At this pace, I'll run out of reading material in no time.

 

I also read the series he wrote with Steve White, which was also excellent by the way.

 

What other authors are there for the military scifi genre?

 

I've read (that I can think of):

Orson Scott Card, Ender's series

Robert Heinlein, starship trooper

Dan Simmon, Hyperion series (not pure military scifi but there is some)

Around 30 star wars novels, best series definitively the Thrawn trilogy from Timothy Zahn

 

What do you suggest I read next ?

I would read some of Tom Clancy's books. Not military but some of the Jack Ryan Novels are quite fast and thrilling.

Well, for Sci-Fi Thrillers I'd go with Michael Crichton (sp?). For Military and Political Thrillers theres Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum. For straight Sci-Fi go with the classics, Asimov and Clarke.

eric nylund and his halo series.

dont know much else on scifi military

but if you want scifi action check out shades children by garth nix(i think that is the authorsame guy who wrote the sabriel trilogy)

mhh for sci fi i would say you should read Batteltech (Mechwarrior)

 

there are about 50 books. The story is. 5 Nations fight against the others with the mighty Battelmechs ^^. Every book builds up to some other books. Others only plays in the BT universe. i read the books at the time when i have learned my job. And i waiting at the moment for the german translations of the EU from them.

heh if you want military sci fi, watch stargate. beats the hell outta reading a book ^^

Or you could read a Stargate novel, they're out now! (But they're better on TV then on the page)

Should I mention the game ? If not i'll delete my message.
