forever war and star ship troopers are interesting to read back to back

forever peace was nice too, forever bliss was pushing it though...

Old man's war by scalzi is a must if you liked forever war.

By Robert Harris?
Yes, it was a fine book but my humble opinion is that I enjoyed TMITHC more.

Hmm so the stories seem to obscure for anyone to know about. I guess we'll make this a SciFi short story recommendation thread if you guys are willing?

>Repent harlequin said the tic toc man by harlan ellison
A fantastic little short about a totalitarian future where time is tightly controlled by the government and tardy citizens have their hearts stopped. A jester appears! Is he a freedom fighter or merely a fool?

>Voluntary state by Christopher Rowe
A surreal tale of a fractured USA so packed with striking images and ideas that it baffles me this author isn't more known. Cars are animals, hacking is surgery, politics is mythology. http://junk.16hz.net/books/R/Rowe,%20Christopher/Rowe,%20Christopher%20-%20The%20Voluntary%2

>Tang dynasty underwater pyramids by Walter jon Williams
A present day, pulpy spy tale about Peruvian indian undercover agents tasked to retrieve runaway bio-scientist. Featuring fabulous water ballet, ninjas, luxury cruisers and a very over the top yet almost realistic plot. A funny James bond pastiche.
