Re: FYI: A Suprisingly Good Sci-Fi Book

These actually fit the thread title quite well, but I'm almost hesitant
to 
mention them on this list at all....

Dan Abnett's "Gaunt's Ghosts" novels.  There's...I think...six of them
at 
this point.  Very well written military SF, for all that they are set in
the 
Warhammer 40K universe.  The character are very normal, and very mortal,

human beings -- not Space Marines, not supermen.

Abnett is a very good author, and I've found myself making an effort to
pick 
up *anything* from GW that he's written.

(And for fantasy fans, anything by "Jack Yeovil" -- pseudonym of Kim
Newman 
of _Anno Dracula_ fame -- is equally worth seeking out.)

The books are good SGII inspiration, and frankly I'd have to consider 
Stargrunt to be a much better system than 40K for emulating them.
