Recommended Reading…?

So I just acquired this little treasure via eBay…

Analog, November 1969

…and now I'm curious to know what other inspirational reading material I should be looking for.

A novel I read last year: Roger Zelazny's 'Roadmarks'; published in 1979.

Synopsis can be found on Wikipedia.

An encounter in one of the chapters is distinctly Ogre-flavored...

I'm pretty sure I actually have that book — I looked it up, and the cover art gave me a flashback — but it's been a long time since I read it. I'll have to excavate it, and read it again.

I've probably got that issue in my attic. My Dad religiously read Analog, Astounding, and Asimov's from the 50's through the 70's. I remember cutting out the Metagaming order from for Ogre.

If you're interested, I can haul them down and see what I've got.

Keith Laumer's Bolo series, of course.

You've probably got some money up there in the attic, if you want to bother to pursue it.

All of the Hammer's Slammers books. Not Ogre, but definitely a GEV-flavor to them . . .

I think I've already got all of the Hammer's Slammers books (I was fortunate enough to discover them many years ago, when there was still just one book), but I'm not sure. I'll have to find a definitive list somewhere.

And I have read the first of the Bolo books, but none of the others.

They're probably worth 4 or 5 bucks each - to someone that wants them. By the time I inventory, bag, and ship them, I just might break even....

I second the recommendations for Hammers Slammers (David Drake is a local author for me) and anything Bolo. I have a 6 or 7 volume short story collection, and a few novels by Keith Laumer and others. I like the idea of hoplessly noble cybertanks. :)

has anyone seen a new Bolo book in the last few years, maybe even a decade?
