Sci-Fi Thread ("Scndsin! Come in, Scndsin!")
Well....Not JUST Scndsin.....But I know he's a Sci-Fi egghead like me.....
Any kick-**** Sci-Fi stories to recommend?
I finished 2 of John Ringo's 3 books dealing with an alien first contact, and the ensuing wars.......'Live Free or Die', and 'Citadel'.......(haven't read the 3rd one yet). FANTASTIC books! All sorts of topics covered there! I'm wondering if anyone else has read them (don't tell me about the 3rd book!).
Or any other Sci-Fi stuff you'd like to discuss.....

Star Wars: The Old Republic - A new MMO-style game that just came out - been playing since beta and am loving it...
Star Wars: The Old Republic
The storyline takes place during the Great Galactic War - 3,000 years before the movies and 300 years after the Knights of The Old Republic games. Lots of Sith and Jedi running around (along with various other classes)...

- Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
- Armor - John Steakley
pretty much anything by David Drake (Hammers Slammers), David Weber (Honor Harrington), Keith Laumer (the Bolo books), or Fred Saberhagen (Berserkers).
I could keep going... and I suspect that I probably will be back in here later with more suggestions but, that should be good enough for the time being.

Classic book. Card tends to 'adultize' children (as do other Sci-Fi writers......), but that's a great book.
Weber's 'Apocalypse Troll' was fantastic....Wish he'd do a prequel....or a Part II......I've read other stuff where he'd collaborated with others.....
Mil Sci-Fi is great. Love the Pournelle/Niven 'Falkensberg Legion' series of books/novelettes.....

It is so difficult to pick any particular pice of work.
I remember something called "The Gray Lensman".
Stranger in a Strange Land Was the awakening of ME!
Jubal is a HERO of my Youth and even so today

Next up on the must read list would be the 1632 books by Eric Flint.
