Game/Shadow -> Shadow series -> Ender in Exile -> Speaker series. New book coming out later too, Shadows in Flight. Ender in Exile left me slightly disappointed, hopefully Shadows in flight wraps up the Shadow series better. | ||

Almost half a century after its publication, Starship Troopers is on the reading lists of the United States Army,[32] the United States Marine Corps,[33][34][dead link][35] and the United States Navy.[36] It is the only science fiction novel on the reading list at four of the five United States military academies. When Heinlein wrote Starship Troopers the United States military was a largely conscripted force, with conscripts serving two year hitches. Today the U.S. military has incorporated many ideas similar to Heinlein's concept of an all-volunteer, high-tech strike force. In addition, references to the book keep appearing in military culture. In 2002 a Marine general described the future of Marine Corps clothing and equipment as needing to emulate the Mobile Infantry." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forever_War Joe Haldeman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer's_Slammers David Drake, also Northworld, The Seas of Venus The Man-Kzin Wars series by Larry Niven C.A.D.S. (Computerized Attack/Defense System) series by John Sievert Armor by John Steakley A Hymn before Battle by John Ringo Old Man’s Army by John Scalzi Great list. Also the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. It's pretty predictable, but it's entertaining and epic nonetheless. | ||
