Branching out, except not really
If you asked me without context, I’d probably say I don’t usually like military SF, but I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Like, at all. I just can’t think of any examples except the books I’m reading right now. The Confederation series by Tanya Huff is great. (Dad, you’ll love it. The first book is Valor’s Choice.) I read the first two when Mel and I went to Mexico last February, and I picked up books 3, 4, and 5 from the library this past weekend. I finished 4 and started 5 today. Can’t get enough. The main character is a kickass NCO space marine. She’s awesome. There’s a book 6 – if the library doesn’t have it this weekend, I’ll have to buy it. I’m okay with that.
