[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 3939598, member: 6592"] If you like science fiction, I've burned my way through a couple of series lately that I love. It's easier to give the author for one series because Daniel Gibbs has multiple series set in the same world. He writes military scifi but with the addition of an interesting take on religion. The backstory is of a war between a group of humans who escaped from an Earth that had been taken over by the League of Sol, a communistic regime. The Terran Coalition has decided that there's more that unites them than separates them so Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and others fight sided by side to stop the spread of League socialism. The best part is that the religious aspect isn't heavy-handed and doesn't intrude on the overall story. I'd recommend that you start with Fight the Good Fight, the first book in his first series, Echoes of War. The second series is Backyard Spaceship, by J.N. Chaney and Terry Maggert, is a series about a man who inherits his grandfather's farm in Iowa. In the barn, he discovers a spaceship and a snarky birdlike "Combat AI" that were his grandfather's partners in a galactic police force call the Peacemakers. And yes, I said "partners" as the ship also has an AI. There's eleven books in this series with the final book due in February. It's hilarious and full of action at the same time. If you have Amazon Prime, you can even borrow the first book, also named Backyard Starship, for free. [/QUOTE]
