No-one does Agile right. Even the people who developed it use it wrong. That's the nature of Agile.- The Athenaeum - Reading updates and Literary Review from the Obsidian Elite (this means you)
Note... Depends on which series of his you're reading. Legacy of Aldenata - More military sci-fi, some right wingism, you don't get the "oh john ringo no!" moments until the last couple of books. Troy Rising - Pulpy silly fun, with only a couple of "oh john ringo no!" moments. Empire of Man - co-written with David Weber. All fairly sane (as Baen sci-fi co-authored by those two can be). Paladin of Shadows / Ghost - The originator of the "oh john ringo no!" meme. It's there from the very first chapter and goes on. I've got a few friends who have been involved in running sci-fi/fantasy conventions in the US, and one of the things they all agree on, is that John Ringo can be an entertaining, well-spoken, intelligent individual.. who is incredibly upfront about the fact that he can also be a complete ****, and that you better be prepared for that when you talk to him. He pretty much hangs the sign of "I'm an ****, if you talk to me, don't be surprised, if you are, you chose to engage me in conversation knowing that."- Funny Stuff: The Funny Strikes Back

Have you tried some of L.E.Modesitt Jr. sci-fi? Action scenes can be a bit on off, but he does tend to spend more time posing ethical / morality / philosophical questions about the nature of society as it develops higher technology. What I find a touch interesting is how he'll write one story posing that x is correct, then a few years later he'll write another that takes the opposite viewpoint. Although things that seem constant do tend to be thoughts on how the more advanced the technology becomes, the more personal self-responsibility and transparency is required. Edit: And some can be a touch fun pulpy sci-fi wrapped around it.- The Best Musical or Comedy Drama Action Film thread (THIS IS THE GENERAL MOVIE STUFF THREAD)
