(Come to think of it, Tobias Buckell's Carribean Steampunk series might also be of interest. Lots of action and cool fight scenes. The first book is Crystal Rain.)
You might also try Star Wars books, starting with Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. |
i'll 2nd the Halo books, they're really good. they contain typical sci-fi video game shenanigans, no hardcore gore or language.theres probably a series or book for many video games he likes.
classics like Starship Troopers or The Forever War may be good bets as well.
or theres something like Keith Laumer's Bolos series about sentient tanks engaging in war throughout the universe. They're compilations of short stories so its not a drag or chore for someone who doesn't read much.
Larry Nivens Man-Kzin Wars may also be worth checking out. same deal as Bolos ie compilations of short stories.
