Re: [OT] Space Exploitation Games & SciFi Books

How about:

The early Miles Vorkosigan books by Lois Bujold
The Helmsman books by Bill Baldwin
The Fleet and Battlestation antholoigies edited by Drake and Fawcett
The Starcruiser Shenandoah series by Roland Green
Rogue Powers and Torch of Honor by Roger Allen
Most of the Berserker series.
Space Vikings by Piper
The Pirates of Rosinante by Alexis Gilliland
The Star Wars X-Wing series by various authors
The Disinherited by Steve White

That should be a start.  I can't say that all of these are GREAT, but
most of them read quickly enough.

I'm sure there are tons of others--these are just the ones I've found on
my bookshelf this morning.

  <lurker off>

  Recently I was reading one of my computer gaming mags (I don't even
remember which one) and I remembered seeing a review for a Masters of
Orion style space exploitation game. The quirk was, the game was ONLY
available for pruchase online. Sadly, I do not remember the name, nor
can I find my magazines (seems my wife cleaned out the family room). I
guess if nobody here can answer the question, I'll have to go back and
buy all the mags again...

  Also, can anybody recommend some good SciFi naval warfare books? I've
read Weber, Drake, Feintuch, and Moon. All some great books, I
especially like Honor Harrington the most. I'm in need of a fix
though.... I just read Apocalypse Troll which, not entirely space-navy
based, was nonetheless an interesting read.

  Thanks,
  Christopher
