So much better Sci-fi out there that would be amazing for a TV series or three.
Personally I work love to have a go at the Greg Mandel series or if I had all the money the Honor Harrington series.
These books are fun, but they're not good. Bad prose, ridiculous characters, childish storylines. It would almost have to be approached like Starship Troopers and treated as a parody of the genre.
@cygnus
I don't know which volumes you read in the series or which side series you've read but that's not an accurate description of the series.
Also Starship Troopers isn't a parody of SciFi is a parody of fascism.
I read a lot of them, up to the most current one when I made it to that point. The first one was a fun age of sail romp, but they progressively got more... I guess I'd say "fairytale-like"? Honor has to be the most egregious Mary Sue I've seen in any franchise.
