    The newest one I have is the last of @cstross ' #Laundry novels, The Regicide Report.
    I don't know if you are ready up in that series, I think this is good so far but probably not an ideal entry point.

    #ArtificialNoodle is slightly but amusing.

    #Scalzi's #OldMansWar series has another one out, a reasonable continuation. The first one was another good effort at a response to #StarshipTroopers the #Heinlein book not film, and to #Haldeman 's #TheForeverWar

    Osią fabuły jest, ma się rozumieć, wojna. Taka, w której ludzkość staje naprzeciwko innej inteligentnej rasy – Taurańczyków. (...) Kłopot z ową wojną polega na tym, że siedziby obu biorących w niej udział gatunków znajdują się w ogromnych odległościach od siebie. Zanim więc adwersarze rzucą się sobie do gardeł, muszą do siebie dotrzeć.

    ...back then--in contrast to June, 2026--it even was a legal deployment if the #Ohio #NationalGuard 💂, requested by #Kent #MayorSatrom.

    Even so, it seems to have proven to be the first stone in the avalanche that was to shatter the #Nixon Administration:

    > [I]n 1950, #Haldeman’s “quirky” politics led him to (…) leave #Canada for #SouthAfrica.(…) [He] had come “to believe that the Canadian government was usurping too much control over the lives of individuals and that the country had gone soft.” One of Haldeman’s sons [wrote it may've] been “his adventurous spirit and the desire for a more pleasant climate in which to raise his family.” But another factor was at play: his strong support for the brand-new #apartheid regime.

  21. Just finished reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. His message was pretty clear from the get go, and the anti war theme kept hitting until the very end. It's all just futile and pointless violence. Unrealistic portrayal of the trauma free soldier though.
