Comments on: Massive book recommendations! https://thebigbearbutt.com/2010/05/14/massive-book-recommendations/ Wed, 23 Nov 2016 22:45:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Dave https://thebigbearbutt.com/2010/05/14/massive-book-recommendations/comment-page-2/#comment-54611 Mon, 31 May 2010 18:08:22 +0000 http://thebigbearbutt.com/?p=3070#comment-54611 How in the name of Mr T’s Bling did I forget “The Corps” series and the “Brotherhood of War” series by WEB Griffin? Each follows the careers of a couple of Marines and soldiers, respectively, from the beginning of WW2 until… they end. The mix of fictional characters into real events is well done, the characters are very compelling. You’ll spend a small fortune following the series… but it’s worth it.

It’s military science fiction with a main character with multiple physical handicaps. Often there’s a mystery involved as well. You can read a short story from midway though the series in the Baen Free library. http://www.webscription.net/10.1125/Baen/1011250002/1011250002___1.htm

A. Salvatore.

I second the Battle Field Earth notion.

I got a Kindle for Christmas and already have 22 books down. Read the whole Burke series back to back.
Scifi I really liked Footfall by Pournell and Nivens and Harry Turtledoves Eden series.
I’ll be checking out some of your recommendations.
