As promised here is todays recomendation: A Sci-Fi novel! After a bit of pondering todays selection is Armor by John Steakley. Sort of a derivitive of Heinlens Starship Troopers (hordes of bugs!) you meet Felix, who is sent into combat as a scout on the planet Banshee. You really get to know Felix and his "Engine" during his time on Banshee. Dont worry about any abrupt plot shifts, it all comes together. I read this for the first time last year and cant believe I missed it for years. Yet another ***** star rating for Armor!!! Maybe tomorrow I'll put out a lower tiered book just for sport.

Speaking of Sci-Fi, what do people think of L Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth? And I'm talking about the book, NOT the movie which was the shittest thing ever.
