    We don't appear to have a thread about military novels, as in the Tom Clancy type techno thriller.

    If I'm wrong, mods, please merge

    Anyway. Reading Ghost Fleet at the moment. Only about 1/4 way in and it's reasonable enough so far. Nice waste of an afternoon reading it.

    Love the odd techno thriller.....Larry Bond and Harold Coyle are worth a read. Trashy reading, but good fun.

    Totally turn off the brain stuff!! :-)

    In fairness, Harold Coyle's first two were readable

    Larry Bond co-wrote Red Storm Rising, just never got the same plaudits as Clancy

    I'd also recommend the "There Will Be War" edited by Larry Niven.

    I think the fact Coyle was a serving officer helped with his writing.
