Recommend reading "Forever War", damn it takes the time-lapsing from near light speed travel to crazy limits.

Loved that book. Also liked Starship Troopers and Armor. Not sure if you have any other suggestions for books along those lines. But if you do please share!

All You Need is Kill. It's the source material for the movie Edge of Tomorrow. Very similar vibe as Starship Troopers and Armor.

There's the short novel and a manga adaptation; Hiroshima Sakurazaka is the author of the story, Ryosuke is the author of the manga. The novel is slightly better, but both are good.

Appreciate it, wasn't sure about the difference so thought to ask you before ordering

I liked that movie, I can only hope the literary material is even better. I still think Forever War was my favorite, but it is just as close to Armor.

I thought Armor was fantastic when it came to Felix
