Highest-rated science fiction military on the shelf
Blood Pact
by Dan Abnett
A late Gaunt's Ghosts novel. Abnett moving the series into a quieter and more political register.
Double Eagle
by Dan Abnett
Warhammer 40,000 air-combat novel by Dan Abnett. Yes, really. Yes, it is much better than that description suggests.
Straight Silver
by Dan Abnett
A mid-period Gaunt's Ghosts novel. Trench warfare on a barely-habitable Imperial world. Dan Abnett doing WWI in space and meaning it.
Titanicus
by Dan Abnett
Dan Abnett writing the Warhammer 40K novel that nobody asked for and that turned out to be one of his best. Giant war-machines, factory cities, and an honest piece of social fiction underneath the metal.
Allies and Aliens
by Roger MacBride Allen
A Roger MacBride Allen solo SF novel. Two short pieces in one volume, both with the careful diplomacy-first SF sensibility his Asimov books also have.
A Song of Stone
by Iain M. Banks
Iain Banks's 1997 literary novel. A castle, a civil war, and a couple whose privilege is unraveling in real time. Bleak and beautifully written.
Battlestar Galactica
by Jeffrey A. Carver
Battlestar Galactica by Jeffrey A. Carver review. The 2006 novelization of Ronald D. Moore's reboot mini-series. Carver doing serious work in a media-tie-in form.
