[Main Blog Post] [Books] Military Fiction

[jprussell]

In a comment on the last Ecosophia Post, I shared some recommendations for "military fiction," and the requester, Justin Patrick Moore, suggested it might make a good blog post. Well, what do you know, the second chapter of Seed of Yggdrasill turns out to be the length of a short book and my kids and work were a bit of a handful this week, so I expanded and edited the comment a bit and share with you now my thoughts.

As always, I'd love to hear any reactions, and for this one, I'd welcome any recommendations for stuff I missed that you've enjoyed.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the list—I'll check some of these out!

I liked the Chronicles of the Black Company and read the entire series years back. Unfortunately, I found the original trilogy to be of a much higher quality than the rest of the series: I've re-read those first three books a couple times, but never had the desire to pick back up any of the others, and I didn't enjoy the recently released Port of Shadows at all.

Hmm, I wonder if I had heard something to that effect, because I remember reading and enjoying the first collection and then deciding not to read any more, for some reason. It might have been "maybe I'll get back to this later" or it might have been hearing something like "it drops off in quality." Thanks for sharing your experience with it!
