Read Cold Days the day it was out.http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment8http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment8Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:22:36 GMTLook at Jim Butcher -- Codex Alera, Dresden Files. Both are pretty decent (and I think of myself as having fairly high standards :)) Just don't complain if you are not able to stop. Those two series combined push 4K pages :)http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment7http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment7Tue, 04 Dec 2012 17:11:29 GMTJust finished the first book and have bought the rest. Thanks for the recommendation!http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment6http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment6Tue, 13 Nov 2012 16:11:32 GMTI started the David Birkenhead series after reading this article -- already read through the first three and am loving them. Thanks, Ayende!http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment5http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment5Mon, 12 Nov 2012 15:06:19 GMTWell, $3 a book. It's like an app, that's why you get a short book. In old days it'd all be published in a single book with a higher price tag. Btw, I just finished the 5th in A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). EPIC! Surely isn't short. Winter is coming... ;)http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment4http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment4Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:50:53 GMTYou should read the Solar Clipper Trader Tales. They're not available on Kindle right now due to a change of publisher, but great books. The first book in the series: http://www.amazon.com/Quarter-Share-Clipper-Trader-ebook/dp/B003KGBH3K I just bought the Admiral Who books. Looks like something I will enjoy..http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment3http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment3Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:09:22 GMTI recently read "Wool Omnibus" by Hugh Howey. It was really good Sci Fi. I was nervous about indie books at first but Wool was a really good read. It is a compilation of 5 books. 4 short stories and one full length. It makes for one really long book but I didn't complain. One of the nice things about indie books is that they actually get to set the price for their ebooks which means you get a price break that you dont get from published books. http://www.amazon.com/Wool-Omnibus-Edition-ebook/dp/B0071XO8RAhttp://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment2http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment2Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:48:39 GMTAnd yesterday the latest in David Birkenhead came out, Captain, which I already finished reading. Awesome!http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment1http://ayende.com/159617/good-indie-military-sci-fi#comment1Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:28:33 GMT
