Guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 I checked out this book at the local mall called "Ashes of Victory" and apparently it has theme on space combat and starship combat which sounded very interesting. Might be a good read before BCM is released. Has anyone here read it?------------------ "Do not fear the unknown, embrace it."cmdr.

Guest aramike01 Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 Never heard of that one but here's another: Look for the Sten series by Alan Cole and Chris Bunch. Best book in the series is entitled, "Fleet of the Damned". I recommend you read the series starting there.------------------ Cmdr.

Guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 Haven't heard of any of them 2 =(. But will keep an eye for them.Take a look at the novels "The Reality Dysfunction"... really interesting perspective of future tech/society... and best of all, ARMAGGEDDON comes true when the souls of the dead begin to attack the living. Now what can be more interesting than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 12, 2000 Report Share Posted March 12, 2000 Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep is EXCELLENT. It's perqual A Deepness in the Sky, is reportedly good as well but I haven't hit it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 I'm a little surprised no one else recognizes the title. "Ashes of Victory" is the very latest in the "Honor Harrington" series of excellent military science fiction by David Weber (Baen books). It borrows heavily from the concepts of the old "Horatio Hornblower" series, and is set in our galaxy a couple of thousand years after we get off from Earth. I've enjoyed examining the differences in ships and tactics between the BC3K universe and Weber's universe.If it isn't REALLY obvious at this at this point, I highly recommend this series.Cmdr Dougal MacKensie, GCV Edinburgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
