Re: OT : Reading Suggestions - Military SF
Ah violence "doesn't come naturally" to the creative minds of women (LOL I should really introduce whoever said that little jewel to my Kung Fu isntructor's daughter.
Seriously though I've noticed most female authors who do have violence in their books tend to lean the violence toward a more emotionaly gripping climax while a lot of male authors just lean towards the "[censored] blows up" (if you'll pardon my language) kind of end that makes us go COOL.
Granted many male authors are excellent at making violent scenes emotional as well as cool but only a sad few of the ones I've read.
