Or Bill, the Galactic Hero, of course...

Andre Norton wrote a lot of straightforward SF adventure without military stuff. I particularly recommend Catseye and Dread Companion

I highly recommend 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline. Picked it up in a bookstore on sale having never heard of it before. The list of authors giving their kudos is quite impressive. If you have knowledge/ interest in video games and 80's culture then I'm sure you'll love it. Best description I heard was Charlie's Chocolate Factory meets The Matrix. A great sci fi/ dystopian novel. Loving every page.

The Last Planet (aka Star Rangers) by Andre Norton.
ANYTHING by Leigh Brackett, especially her Eric Stark stories.
The Lensman books.

Hey Pickle, I thought I was the only one left on the planet who loved...



I still might be unique though, I'm a big fan of the movie as well.

Actually, anything in that series, but start with this one 'cause it's a great kickoff to..."

I'd add my vote to the Stainless Steel Rat books... easy reading, funny and satisfying.
