I actually quite enjoyed the "thematic" sequel to _The Forever War_:
_The
Forever Peace_. The "Soldierboys" are essentially remotely piloted
powered
armor, and would translate pretty easily into SGII.
When looking for this book, I found _Body Armor: 2000_ as well. Edited
by
(of course) Joe Haldeman. One of the early stories is a "history" of
PA,
and has some interesting pictures.
