Some great Books and series you should check out.

The Horseclan series by Robert Adams. Violent, fun, short and decently written, what more could you want? There's 19 and they are hard to find but you could probably pick �em up for a buck or 2 at a used book store.

The Rolling Thunder series by Viet-nam vet Mark Berent. A great fictionalized account of Berent 4 years flying in Nam.

Harold Coyles Team Yankee. Ignore his other work its horrible, but Team Yankee centered solely on a single tank platoon in WWIII is riveting.

The List of Seven by Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost; A fictional Arthur Conan Doyle and a agent of the queen attempt to stop a demonic plot against Victorian England.

Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson. 93 confirmed kills. Winner of the Silver Star. Nuff said.

Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes. Absolutely the best Sci-fi book I've ever read.

Cornelius Ryan: A Bridge Too Far. Blow by blow account of the heroism and debacle of Operation Market Garden.

Matthew Stover: Revenge of the Sith. Stover is just an amazing writer. Even if you just have a passing interest in Star Wars this book is incredible. If you are a fan and you haven't read it yet, your truly missing out.

David Gemmell the Drenai series.

Frank Herbert: Hellstorms Hive. A disturbing look into a madmans scheme for our world. A classic that I'm almost to afraid to read again.
