#Warhammer books 40k series

Or indeed, lose an entire star system and 20 million soldiers due to a paperwork problem. You cannot, in the HH series, lose an entire planet to screaming maniacs and have it written off as a minor loss. I think that the scale of the 40k setting helps add to the epic nature of things. The 30k books are also variable, but have some stunning pieces (admittedly I'm biased as I know the eventual ending, and the foreshadowing is thus piquant) I can reccomend the Gaunts Ghosts and Caiphas Caine series' in particular. That said, a lot of the 40k books are rather good. It's more like meeting an old friend than a new one. They may know Honour from the books, but they know, say Marneus Calgar from years of tabletop play and have extra emotional attachment. I think that quite a few of the 40k books get slightly buffed ratings, if read and reviewed by the tabletop players. Now, there's a certain amount of variation in quality, in both sci-fi generally and 40k books.

I have also read a lot of sci-fi, including The Saga of Seven Suns, the Honour Harrington series (well, most of it), other stuff by David Weber, John Ringo, Julian May, Anne McCaffrey, Heinlein, and many others. (there is also the 30k books, the Horus Heresy series) The Soul Drinkers 6-set, the Night Lords trilogy, the Eisenhorn trilogy. The Caiphas Caine series (funny Imp G series, ditto)

The Gaunts Ghosts series (grim imperial guard stories, about a dozen+) Dozens around Space Marines chapters alone.
