Old Man's War by John Scalzi

Oh, good suggestion. It's much more military SF than PHM, but it does have a lot of other similarities, and the series becomes less military focused. It didn't come to mind as something a person would like if they liked PHM, but it probably does fit.

I have a love/hate reaction to this suggestion.

Love - It's a great book!

Hate - I've read it already, and I came here hoping for ideas of new books to read!

Awesome book, which is part of a series.
