Good brain-rotting military SF. The "General" series is also good...I think SM Sterling wrote that one. I'll check out the Horus Heresy stuff. It's a cool period in the history of the fluff, so why the hell not...expecially if your discerning tastes enjoyed it. But if it's bad, Steve...so help me god... *shakes fist* You should check out the Hammer’s Slammers series by David Drake. Good brain-rotting military SF.

I’ll check out the Horus Heresy stuff. It’s a cool period in the history of the fluff, so why the hell not…expecially if your discerning tastes enjoyed it.

I haven't read very much military SF - basically just the first two Old Man's War books by John Scalzi - so I don't have much to compare it to.

You're preaching to the choir. I fielded my Dark Angels this weekend against an Inquisition investigation and emerged untainted by Chaos (which meant I killed all the inquisitors on the field of battle). I should link you to some pictures. I was just saying...are the books good? I don't go in for the fluff stuff as it is usually terribly written...rather spend my limited reading time with Gibson and Vinge, you know? But if the stuff is at least readable like David Drake or Stephen Wright, I should give it a chance. Might inspire me more in the hobby. Hey man. You’re preaching to the choir.
