I want military sci-fi, lots of it. The review score doesn't

the halo books

>>9718038
Honor Harrington books

>>9718039
Which one's good?

>>9718038
The Forever War

Forever Peace was good too, but I think not as good and not military

I remember there used to be this guy who would write stacks of books. I wonder what became of him. I know he fought in some war and apparently people claim he an hero'd.

>>9718782
Hemingway?

>>9718789
No, a /lit/ poster.

Armor is the best written to so.

We have a whole general, you know
>>>/sffg/

Old man's war by John scalzi

>>9718059
Any of them. Just start from the beginning

I can tell your new so just know we don't take kindely to people like you. Go to the containment general.

Starship troopers gets mentioned here quiet a bit. Aside from the facist undertones, I can't say much about the quality of the book, but you're looking for quantity not quality.

yeah I remember that guy. he worked at a gas station and would post pictures of him standing next to his unpublished eleven volume fantasy series. last time i saw him post was in a thread about the publishing industry, he posted a picture of a fat stack of his unpublished manuscripts and some dude who worked for a publisher told him he should be embarrassed for wasting so much time on a series that will never get published. Didn't hear anything about suicide just assumed he got BTFO'd so bad he gave up on his dreams.

Literally want my 60 page story about a hard-military sci-fi I started around 3 years ago and never finished?

Here's a screencap of it as a sampler

>>9719924
Oh gosh yes I remember him a bit more now. I just remember back when /lit/ tinychat was a small thing he would always take us out on adventures throughout his town.

>>9718827
This. Armor is what you want OP. Its what most people think Starship Troopers is gonna be before they actually crack open the book.

>>9719853
ST is literally just military theory

I think 'Fall of Reach' is pretty good in it's own right

>>9719924
Does anyone have any more information on him?

>>9718062
Forever War is kino.

Forever Peace is actually unrelated, confusingly, but has at least a military aspect to it

Forever Free is the inferior sequel to Forever War.

>>9718038
You asked for the worst, so here goes:
Bruce Bethke's Cyberpunk novel. No, not the short story.

>>9721636
>Does anyone have any more information on him?
Forever Peace also has a sex scene between two people who are mind-linked and one of them is a nigger and he talks about what it's like sucking his own dick

It's great.

>>9721636
>Forever War is kino
>forced homosexuality in every character

More like Forever Gay lmao amirite?

>>9721663
Mandela never goes gay. It's just the future humans that do it at one point for population control or whatever.

Even then there's a few curious strays that want to try the straight way.

The Frontlines series by Marko Kloos is quite good.

Yoon ha lee's Ninefox Gambit. Kind of like a dumb wanna be harry potter version of military scifi. Forever war, enders game, starship troopers, dune.

Crimson Worlds, about a mary sue super marine (jesus fuck the obsesion with Marines in mil sci-fi). Apart of him and some other character fellating themselves/Cain, the military parts are quite good, the Space battles specially.
The Lost fleet, the MC is another mary sue, but a more nuanced one (for what I mean, a less grating one). Probably the best depiction of Space battles between space ships I read.
Hammer Slammers. A tank mercenary company and his mis adventures. The Slammers are da best company and a bit of wank, but it's mostly about the grunts and what they do and feel, and lots of destruction. Good entertainment.
Then you have Ringo. Lots of good ideas, a cringey way to portray them.

>>9719870
The only possible answer desu

>jesus fuck the obsesion with Marines in mil sci-fi

Uh, what else are they gonna write about? No one cares about theoretical naval combat or about some nerd sitting back on base directing drones or some shit, they just want "SPESS MUHREENS"

>>9718059
Start with the first trilogy, it is good stuff, from there I will recommend you to read the Cole Protocol, Glasslands, and the Thursday war (if you can tune out the author bashing of certain character), from there on Last Light and Envoy.
