I'm not into military sci-fi but I love books about the army like W.E.B Griffin's Brotherhood of War series. :yup:

Wow..I haven't read those books. I want to read Honor Bound Series of Griffin but I can't find paperback in bookstores. :cry:

I can't recommend military sci-fi as I haven't read any of them. :fst:

If you happened to end up on the pirate bay and in the ebooks section and you searched sci-fi and sorted by size, you might find a big enough library as a single file to keep you happy for quite a while;)
I haven't actually downloaded anything but I did see it there, IIRC it was about 8.5 gigs:P



Also, Baen has a ton of free Ebooks as mentioned, I would recommend grabbing all of them, they are sized properly for ebook readers and good with proper covers and proofreading and such which a lot of the "free" books are sadly lacking.

many of them are military Sci-Fi, good ones are the Hammer Slammers series and Lt Leary series and any of the ones by Andre Norton.
a google for free baen ebooks will bring up a list of all of them.
Most are good, and they seem to offer a whole series often rather then just the usual first book is free crap.
And the formats are nice too, with a nice cover and everything.


EDIT: http://www.bonham.net.nz/SF/Baen/WS/ws_books_dl.html

There is a complete list of the ebooks in any format.

I used DownthemAll in firefox and had it try every .LRF link, then save them to a folder.
worked great:)
