Re: Near-Topic: G forces

Joe Haldeman. It's Starship Troopers updated from a Vietnam veteran's 
perspective  His "War Year" is a terrific novel, and features combat 
engineers -  and help's explain some of Mr Atkinson's world view given 
what the engys go through.

On the topic of Gs, starships maneuver close to lightspeed at very high 
accelerations. Crew and troops are put into fluid-filled acceleration 
tanks, and there are also some implants for high-g adaption and, iirc a 
blood replacement treatment to allow the human body to survive dozens of

g's for days. If everything works.
