Date: Sunday, 19 November 2006 06:23 pm (UTC)Descendants of the Cherryh style of "Hard" SF, IMO, would include Bujold's Vorkosigan stuff and this Honour Harrington I keep hearing glowing fan paens to, but have not as yet encountered.
It's an idea I'm mulling over, these two strands in military SF. Not fully-formed, but I'm the only real Cherryh fanboy I know (and I've read like 5% of her books), so I may be giving her undue credit. But she is one of the Old Guard, and Downbelow Station is a classic. So's Chanur's Pride, IMO. Plus she does really good aliens*, which the South African Judge always gives a 10 to, aspirant xenologist that he is.
*Also one of the main reasons I like David Brin, BTW.
