ADD: I do, however, definitely recognize mysteries, and I have no idea what Drawing Conclusions, by Donna Leon, is doing in the list. Excellent book, but not science fiction  . |
The only book I can give a personal recommendation on is Marko Kloos' "Terms of Enlistment". (Animal Farm doesn't count)
It ain't great art, but it is a solid and entertaining military science fiction story. Kloos paints a believable picture of a world that is slowly losing it's livability, it's concept of integrity, honor, and doing the 'right thing' The world isn't in a sudden collapse, so much as it is slowly wearing out physically and spiritually.
And, like a lot of poor boys everywhere, the hero sees the military as a way out of hoplessness and despair. On a scale of 1 -10, I'd say it's around 7. A great read for free, a good read for $2.
