Starship: Mutiny (Starship, Book 1) 24 reviews Mike Resnick
Pyr, 2005
Good light read
+ Here's a thought- how about a paperback edition?
I loved this book. It's not typical military sci fi, which is what attracted me to it. The main character is witty and shrewed, obviously very intelligent.

The Last Colony 66 reviews John Scalzi
Tor Books, 2007
Twenty-five hundred pawns to king four
+ Plots and hazards on a New Colony + The Last Colony
Scalzi's third book, at least to start, moves at an easier pace than the ones before. The protagonists of the last books have retired from the military and cast off their olive drab (skin that is). They've settled down to farming, quieting petty feuds in their community, and raising a daughter. ...
