Just finished the Troy rising trilogy! Awesome books. Thanks for the recommend guys! Are there others that go even way further than that in scope of “...

I'm inclined to side with Eric Nay in that all that should be made avaliable. I think part of what Ryk is getting at is any specs on the Aurora is som...

David Colwell, a few suggestions off the top of my head. Although it depends how large is large when it comes to space fleets, as such I've included o...

You have a fair point David, but there is the bit of probability to consider. Strictly speaking, space is vast expanses of emptiness dotted by extreme...

Hamsterman: Wow! You got the Author’s to respond to you. It’s his first post! Congratulations! I was starting to wonder if Ryk was actually going to...

This might be a good time to start breaking up the status of characters by the situation after each episode to avoid spoilers. Best to start now befor...

I've read all the Destroyermen books and 20 seems a bit high, seems like it would be closer to 5-10 tops. There's also seems like there's a good reaso...

@Aaron: True enough. It'll be interesting to see what tactics are used when jump fighter(s) are used offensive against spacecraft. @ericnay: Attackin...

A couple days ago I finished reading through the Koban series. There are a number of points where the story was slow and the detail excessive (book le...

@Tam: I havne't read Ep 7 recently, but it seemed like they were aware that a rather large craft was in the system, but wasn't aware/sure of what it w...

@Eric Nay: Seems like it would be more effective to attack on opposite sides of the Jung (maximize the distance between the two ships). If done well, ...

Oddly enough, I recently read a book that used a similar idea to the jump bomb I presented. Although the FTL in that book limited it to only a single ...

Fletcher: Doesn’t necessarily have to be 3d to get the jist of the distance between places. Just zoom in on key areas and make them 3d. In most cases...

I've been buying a lot of kindle books recently and the following series stick out (besides the Frontiers Saga of course). As always, not everyone wil...

F does certainly sound like Mass Effect 1 thru 3. There are a few novels, but that plot-line mentioned centers on the games itself. It may be a game b...

mpnovotny: A 100 pound mass moving at .99C would probably destroy anything it hit. Not exactly. It has a huge amount of kinetic energy, but only a fr...

Correction for previous post: "The result may cause a lot of damage but not destroy enough of the jump drive. This would be desirable if antimatter is...

All this talk about FTL weapons seems to neglect the possibility of jump weapons in a more direct manner. This would be more of an experiment than an...

It does seem big, but a lot of volume is probably required for propellent, engines and supplies. There's also a good chance that the decks are rather ...
