Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for military science fiction? Please post your recommendations below!
Thank you :)

Elizabeth Moon writes some. Also Myke Cole writes military fantasy, which I like better, but it's in the same tome.

Check out Jolie Mason. I'm not a huge Sci-Fi fan. But we live in a world of free samples!

Thanks Jamie and H.D. I'll have a look into them! :)

No sweat - I only write military fiction, although radar is science. Be interested in knowing what you make of the above recommendations.

Clear by Fire - author is Joshua Hood Enjoy! Not so much sci-fi, but military thriller

Try Janissaries by Chris Kennedy

I'm working on one but have to finish the current sci-fi for my publisher. Wish I had one to send you...

Sorry if self-promotion is inappropriate, but your post caught my eye. I believe that Mind in the Clouds would fit your requirements, although the science is near-term.

Message me if interested.

Mind in the Clouds

Bruce has a point, but some shameless self promotion is forgivable at times. I think my novel might interest you. Check it out or contact me should you want a review copy.


Gamma Nine

There is also a free short story available, but I would not read it before Book One.

My sci-fi series, Shiva XIV, is a space opera with military/political intrigue.

Check it out:


Shiva XIV

The Veil of Truth

If you have a Kindle Reader, John Bowers' Fighter Queen series. Start with The Fighter King

It's only 99-cents on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RKUG7XW
Or free if you have Kindle Unlimited membership.

I've read the entire series and it's great!

Also his Starport series.


His UF Marshall series is a space cop collection of stories and probably won't fit your requirements.

The FIRE Team Alpha Series


In the year 2091 an attempt to impose a global government festered into a dystopic, authoritarian nightmare. After fifteen years of global conflict, the World Central Authority has been shattered; leaving the world in virtual dark age. The United States and its allied nation-states were victorious, but only at an unimaginable cost. The fragments of the defeated global government are mired in chaos and the profiteers of the Corporate Consortium grow ever richer while perpetuating conflict on a planetary scale.

The aspiration for a global government has not died in the minds of the would-be tyrants. Ancient feuds over race and religion have reemerged with greater intensity than ever before. Newly liberated nation-states contend against the remnants of the global government, newly formed nations, and one another for political dominance and ever more scarce natural resources. The Corporate Consortium uses its superior technology and nearly limitless wealth to mold events to its will.

The Fast Intervention Raiding and Espionage teams are elite, multinational units of genetically enhanced special operators. They are the tier one striking forces of the United States and its allies in the Free Nationalist Forces. Drawn from the world’s finest special operations forces; the F.I.R.E. teams combine the best, most demanding military training in the world with more than human physical and mental capabilities granted by advanced genetic engineering. The F.I.R.E. teams are the most lethal warriors in human history.

Leading F.I.R.E. Team Alpha, Douglas Carter finds his team at the crux of the geopolitical disintegration threatening the human race. Masters of controlled violence, the members of Team Alpha operate in a world where death is incidental, truth exists only in the shadows, and power is the only true currency.

Look for books by Ian Douglas. I really like his books. He has several trilogies set in the same universe.

Battlespace: This is the second book in one series.
