Both UTAlumnus and wildman800 are clearly erudite, intelligent and wise people, because they agree with me. Even if you don't think you like military scifi _On Basilisk Station_ is outstanding and you can't beat the price for the ebook. The Foundat

If you like military hard sci-fi,try "On Basilisk Station" by David Weber. IIRC you can download it free in several formats from the [url=www.baen.com]Baen website[/url]. E-books from Baen were DRM free the last time I bought from them.
