The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress is another good one

Eh, OP, if you read that one, make sure you read The Forever War. Many think it is a counter to Starship Troopers, although the author, Joe Haldeman, denies it.

"Starship Troopers" and "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" are two ways of saying that you should look seriously at the works of Heinlein. To that I would include "A Stranger in a Strange Land".

I think the Orson Scott Card stuff may be worth a look.

Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter series is good.

I like Phillip K Dick's works, but they are not for everyone and there is a lot of drug use (albeit new weird drugs, not cocaine, etc.) so wanted to advise. "A Scanner Darkly", "Flow My Tears the Policeman Said", "Now Wait for Last Year", etc.

P.S. Somehow it escaped me to identify Frank Herbert's Dune saga here. It's one of the most important works of science fiction ever made, and it's _very_ "based", as the kids say these days. It's all about "Power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Sounds interesting, I'll take a gander.

ye those are on my list, I should really read em. Loved Rogue Trader.

He's a jew though
