a fun book that I like, not my FAVORITE but it's in my top list of fun books to read is THE MAN WHO NEVER MISSED a military-science-fiction-spiritual-martial-arts-political-revolutionary pulp novel from the 80s. Some may already know it since it was written by the guy who wrote STAR WARS SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE as well as ALIENS: Earth Hive with two other ALIENS books in that trilogy, and an ALIENS vs PREDATOR novel or two.
I've read it at least three dozen times over the years, there's also a handful of books that were written in the early 90s that follow up with characters from it. it's not the GREATEST book by any means and the sex scenes are awkward to read as an adult but it is a ridiculously readable and entertaining book if it seems even remotely interesting. I fully recommend it for anyone into military science fiction about a spiritual and political revolutionary.
