Default Re: OT : Reading Suggestions - Military SF

Let's see good books I've read
Any of "The Fleet" books though those books are basically just a bunch of short stories tied into the same book, and the end of the war was a let down.
well that and some of the authors made contradicting statements compared to the others but other then that they were pretty good.

Hmm I've read "On Basilisk Station" and loved it, I'm readin "Honor of the Queen" and also love that so far (I'm on chapter 15).
So I'd recomend the Honor Harrington series as far as I've read it.


ALSO other good military Sci-Fi books:
The Mote in God's Eye and it's sequal The Gripping hand.
The BioFab War by Stephen Ames Berry (it's a fast read and pretty fun but it's no masterpeice of modern literature).
Starship Troopers was a pretty good read.
DUNE was also a pretty good read though I don't know if that counts as "military" sci-fi.
