The 2018 Military SF Bundle from StoryBundle is modestly packed with a variety of novels, novellas, and short stories for those of you who enjoy action-packed space adventures – all selected by author Kevin J. Anderson (The Saga of the Seven Suns, Dune prequels, and more). Travel through time, stay on Earth, journey to new worlds or get lost in the vastness of space. Encounter threats from humans, aliens, and even alien ghosts. All with a solid dollop of action along the way.
As per normal, the books are all DRM-free and provided in .epub and .mobi formats for your e-reader of choice. The first tier of this two-tier bundle will set you back $5, and includes the following four titles:
- Escape Hatch – Kevin J. Anderson
- Strike Eagle – Doug Beason
- The Year’s Best Military & Adventure SF Vol. 4 – edited by David Afsharirad (Baen Books)
- Oblivion – Steve White and Charles E. Gannon
Chip in a further $10, making it $15 in total, and you’ll receive the following eight titles in addition to those above:
- Cohort of the Damned – Andrew Keith and William H. Keith, Jr.
- Typhoon Time – Ron S. Friedman
- Prisoner of War – Kevin J. Anderson
- A Deal with the Devil’s Broker – Steve Ruskin
- Into the Dark (Alexis Carew #1) – J.A. Sutherland
- Crying Planet – Linda Maye Adams
- Fire Ant – Jonathan P. Brazee
- Cobra Slave (Cobra Rebellion Book 1) – Timothy Zahn
As a regular military sci-fi reader the two that stand out the most for me are Oblivion, the latest entry into the long-running Starfire series, and Timothy Zahn’s Cobra Slave, the first installment in the third trilogy based on his cybernetics-enhanced super-soldiers.
A few of the others sound like they have some potential, but you won’t know until you try. I’d say for fans of the genre spending $15, or around R210, is worth it because you only have to enjoy a couple of the titles to get your monies worth. Try walking into a book store and buying one or two books for that. And who knows, maybe you’ll introduce yourself to a new author along the way.

“Try walking into a book store”
That one line alone should be advice for the majority of people out there.

Seriously. I think i’ve only ever read a couple of Dan Brown books, and the usual high school setbooks when it comes to fiction.

Nothing wrong with only reading non-fiction.
But of all the fiction you could have read, you choose DAN BROWN?! That guy’s prose is terrible, just terrible!

Jip, if there is an award for the best selling bad author he should get it for every year the past 2 decades
He actually have good ideas but should use a ghost writer

Yeah, agree, some of his ideas were decent. The only reason he became so famous and sold well was because of one thought provoking and controversial story.
Before Da Vinci code, his books were all found in the bargain bins. I read Da V Code to see what the hype was about and it was a total slog to read.

Ah dude, that totally depends on what kind of stories you like.
What’s your preferred movie genre?

Spy movies! Hmmm, I should get a Tom Clancy book…

Can’t really help you there, I’ve never read one of those!
But yeah, if you enjoy those kind of movies, get those kinds of books. You’ll generally find the books to be better, since things can be explained a lot better than they are in movies.

Now that was a cool book.
A bit dated now in terms of the science stuff in it, but still a very good read.
If you ever want to read good fantasy, THAT I can offer advice on!
