Exordia was awesome, any other similarly detailed Military SF?
I just finished the audiobook of Exordia on a long drive. Wow, this book is a wild ride. It was uncomfortably visceral, intelligent, and has some really crazy ideas but still felt believable and self-consistent.
One thing that jumped out at me was how much care went into the writing of the human weaponry and military side of things. The amount of detail that went into the descriptions of the modern human equipment and military communications was really refreshing. There were a lot of details about weapon handling and function that made me think "wow, this guy actually knows how to load a pistol and how a rifle works". It is a small thing but I think realistic and accurate writing of real-world weapons really helps sell the experience when you have some exotic alien weapons and destruction flying around at the same time. He also did a great job of using this to add more depth and believability to the characters. Badass professional soldier X effortlessly and naturally moves and uses their weapon while civilian Y may fumble and make common mistakes which real life inexperienced people actually do. I was honestly surprised when I looked up Seth Dickinson's background and it didn't involve some sort of military service or adjacent profession.
I'm far less knowledgeable on the complex math and physics side of things, but it also felt very smartly written and believable while mixing in the fictional ideas.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for books that nail the "military" aspect of Military Sci-Fi?
