"One of the first, and best, military sci-fi novels ever written. Heavy with politics, but the action is fantastic. It is, I should add, nothing like the movie. The "Mobile Infantry" are a wonder."
"The protagonist is Felix, formerly a great King, fighting anonymously as a Scout on the alien planet Banshee. He joined the military as a suicidal gesture, but finds he is unkillable. A great book."
"FANTASTIC BOOK. Children training as generals become locked in deadly games with one another, and with the enemy, an unknowable and relentless foe. The descriptions of 3D war are fantastic."
"This book follows a unit of soldiers which (due to relativity) fight a war over tens of thousands of years. Humanity evolves, they do not. Like Armor, a thoughtful book which offers great action"
""Sharrow was once the leader of a personality-attuned combat team in one of the sporadic little commercial wars in the civilisation based around the planet Golter". What more can I say?"
"The first in a great series, "which will charm the socks off schoolgirls and sailors". Honor Harrington is the only female protagonist on this list, and her place is well deserved."
"What happens when the world ends. Not completely military, but as you follow the series, it becomes increasingly so. Medieval warfare with modern conceptions make the action compelling."
"The plot follows a commander, saved after 100 years in cryo-sleep, as he fights his unfamiliar home fleet out of an impossible situation to get home. Leadership is a major theme. The action is great."
"Fantastic space opera. The story follows the course of a civil war after the Shaa, former overlord's of the "Dread Empire", die off as a species. Politics, space fights, and guerrilla warfare!"
