Subject: Favorite Military Science Fiction Book
D Masterson    8/31/2002 9:58:17 AM
Let us know what your favorite Military Science Fiction book is.

Personally, Ender's Game is probably my favorite with Starship Troopers a close second. There certainly is a lot of good stuff out there.

quite a while back there was a discussion of the japs actually invading hawaii rather than just a hit and run. seems turtledove has picked the idea up and run with it.

I am currently reading "Shattered Sword," the new book on the Battle of Midway. There is a discussion of what it would require to take and hold Hawaii. There is virtually no way the Japanese could have done it. Still, sounds like an interesting read.

Desertmole    RE:: Frank Herbert - White Plague   11/29/2005 6:00:31 AM
An interesting book is Herbert's White Plague. Its about a geneticist (or microbiologist, I foreget which) whose wife and child are killed by an IRA bomb. He decides to get even by creating a plague that will only kill the Irish, but as you can imagine, things go frighteningly wrong. Obviously, it is not as easy as Herbert writes, but a good read anyway. A chilling book in today's context of bio-weapons and terrorism.

the day when some high school kid has the capability to design a virus to kill off his red headed left handed tormentor isn't very far off at the rate things are going. not exactly a comforting thought is it.

culprit217    The Domination by S.M. Stirling   11/30/2005 3:27:34 PM
Marching Through Georgia, Under the Yoke and The Stone Dogs, S.M. Stirling...I am a combat veteran of Vietnam. I saw it all and more of it than I wanted. And I have never read combat like S.M. Stirling writes. The Draka stories are based on what would have happend if a slave economy had been able to survive and thrive to modern times and beyond. I found it so cold blooded as to be refreshing in these politically correct times. Very entertaining, realistic, sexy and bloody. The perfect Sci-Fi war writing.

Just a fine, fine read, and Heinlein probably invented the whole concept of mechwarriors. Also probably pioneered the idea that infantry (and any others that go in harm's way) must be as elite as possible, to decrease casualties to themselves.

Resurrecting this old post by Eon where he recommended H Beam Pipers story collection. I just discovered that he did a sequel to Kalvan of Otherwhen (Gunpowder God in the UK) called Great Kings War. Not quite as good as the original but still a good read. You can download or read the whole novel for free here: link Amongst others there that I can recommend are 1632 & 1633 by Eric Flint.

I'm not sure if you'd call this military science fiction but the batttle scenes in Erich Fint's 1632 are well done.

I am a Viet Nam veteran and author. I'm not sure if my latest book would be considered "sci-fi" more of a supernatural military thriller. However I invite you to visit the webpage, www.PastSins.Net and make up your mind. Here is the gist... What would happen if the CIA got their hands on a true supernatural horror, to weaponize, and it ended up biting them first? Please check the reviews and available on Amazon. Decker

Almost sounds like you've got yourself something in the works for the SciFi Channel. Ever considered taking it that far? (TV movie)

Hi Dogtag. As a matter of fact the novel has been considered for both a possible TV series, and a feature film. Nothing has happened yet, but keeping my fingers crossed. However can't worry about that as I am in the process of writing the sequel. Ooo Rah! Decker

Hey I'm new in town and sci-fi/fantasy nut. Lets see one favorite.......Can't do it. David Weber, David Feintuch, David Drake, John Ringo they're all tops in my book. Someone mention Turtledove I haven't read anything since two Georges. Tom Clancy is daddy, but not of MSF. What he writes is not MSF, it's real-time current realpolitik warfare Military fiction. I'll be back gotta jump over to my other board and check my returns. Lobo
