Subject: Favorite Military Science Fiction Character
pragmatist    9/6/2002 10:47:40 PM
It is great to see the choices for Favorite
MSF book. There are so many great titles
from which to choose.

How about Favorite Military Science Fiction
Character? I'd say my personal favorite has
become Miles Vorkosigan from Lois McMaster
Bujold's Vor Lord series.

But my other favorites have to include:
(in stream of consciousness order)
Andrew Wiggens, Juan Rico, Jack Ryan,
Conrad Schwartz, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler,
Paul Atriedes, Willard Phule, Sam Damon,
Lazarus Long, Johnny Tremain, "The Mule",
Honor Harrington, Jack Holloway,
Rick Galloway, James Tiberius Kirk,
Manual O'Kelly Davis, Nicholas Seafort,
"Wiz" Zumwalt, Nathan MacKinnie,
Harry Redington, Matthew Brooks Dodson,
Horatio Hornblower ....

.... others?

Thank you, wkwillis! I've spent ten years wondering if Kalvan could pull it off.

Wizenbeak, from the "Wizenbeak", "The Shadow Shaia", and "Lord of the Troll Bats", series by Alexis Gilliland. He's just trying to keep his irrigation and colonization project going and they won't leave him alone. To their regret.

Alexis Gilliland also did the Rosinante series, a near future space colony forced to become independent by economic changes and dirtside politics. The US has an unsuccessfull coup during the novel. Gilliland seems to know a bit about the subject, and in his Wizenbeak series (Wizards and agricultural land reform), some third world politics, too. I wonder if he was using his National Bureau of Standards job as a cover for his real work for Clowns In Arlington, or if he's just an amateur.

Commodore John Grimes of the Rimworlds Naval Auxillary. Something of a mix between James T. Kirk, Horatio Hornblower And Richard Bolitho, with a pipe and a zipper that refuses to remain closed.

Joe Haldeman's Major Mandella in "Forever War". This book is a retake on "Starship Troopers" but view from a disgruntled vientnam vet point of view. However, viewed from a Physis point of view it is a very realistic depiction of the problems inherent in futuristic war. It lasts a long, long, long, time. U

No one has mentioned Felix from "Armor" by John Steakley. I realize it's a little unrealistic, but the whole concept of him wanting to die but his subconscious keeping him alive is interesting

Reza Malin, the SpecOps Mercenary team leader in Peter F Hamilton's "The Reality Dysfunction". The ultimate moral soldier.
