Your mileage may vary -- mine certainly did....

I gave up on HH following the third book or so, realizing that I just
didn't *care* what happened next.  For my part, I'd recommend Lois
Bujold's
"Miles Vorksigan" books instead -- not quite as heavy on the military
bits,
but I found them to be far better written and much more entertaining.

(and for a gaming tie-in, GURPS Vorkosigan should be out later this
year)

For SGII tie ins, I quite enjoyed the Spartans series by Pornelle and
Stirling, for armor action I'll pick up Drake (again, I'm not much of a
fan
of his plots...but he writes good action).

There's also David Gerrold's "Chtorr" series, but again: folks either
love
'em or hate 'em.  I quite like them myself, but I wish that he'd finish
the
damned series.	His two "Star Wolf" books are somehwat inspirational for
FT, as well.
