Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. It isn’t recent but holds up and the audiobook version on Libby was good.

Seconding Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Also Valor series by Tanya Huff. You might like How To Lose The Time War?

Have you read any of the Vorkosigan Saga?

That and Memory Called Empire are sort of politico-military but well written.

Cat Rambo’s You Sexy Thing is about a retired military leader that opens a restaurant together with some of her old unit on an out of the way space station. The space station gets attacked. Despite the title, it’s not a romance.

Jessie Mihalik’s Hunt the Stars is about former military bounty hunters in space that are hired by their former enemy, a human-like species. It is a romance at heart, so if that’s not your jam, then skip this one. (If you do like romance, I really liked her first series that started with Polaris Rising, but that doesn’t have the military aspect as much).

Some Desperate Glory

The Expanse series?

OP here. I've read a lot of that genre and that's why I'm looking for specific recs. Some are great but many are not so I'm looking for the more recent gems that I might have missed.

A number of the Iain M. Banks Culture series are military/fighting oriented though with twists you might not expect. To spoil it a little, liberal humanity and godlike AI who are codependent species use military secret agents and advisors to make the universe a better place.

I'm looking for recs for far future military-ish sci fi that have come out in the past few years. Available as an audiobook on Libby is a definite plus! My teen son gets all my Audible credits.

I like Murderbot, Ancillary Justice, We Are Legion, Old Man's War, etc. I also really liked Station Eternity.

Thanks!!
