I recently read Terms of enlistment by Marko Kloos and it had a very realistic basic training in the book.

You're getting lots of recommendations, so I'm just giving you the most recent one I have read that fits your description that I liked.

Evan Currie, Marko Kloos, Craig Alanson, Josh Dalzelle; these are all writers I know for certain started as self-published authors. Also, probably H Paul Honsinger and Nick Webb.

If you want to sell self published MilSF, read and study the first books in all those series, and then emulate them.

The bobiverse is a good, fun, new one... Martin Kloos is great if he likes military scifi. Vernor Vinge is great with little or no bodily fluids, just spiders and dying civilisations...

KU is awesome for readers like you and I. Problem is the 'quality' of some of the writing.

​

There are several series buried in the tons of books available. The first one that comes to mind for me is Marko Kloos Frontline series beginning with Terms of Enlistment, its kinda dark but I read all six of the books he's done, having read all of them I believe he'll be back (or I hope he isn't done) to add more.

​

I've read thru quite a few others, mostly on the military scifi end, but if you're interested in fantasy, there are also a lot of books available in that genre too

I looked at the first book today and it has over 1,500 ratings. I was shocked as well. His first book went out as a freebie, and it was a brilliant gamble for him. He just happened to do it with a damn good story. The Amazon marketplace is flooded with terrible freebies, but that one was a page turner.

I finally finished Solaris and I'm starting Terms of Enlistment. A recommended book that popped up on my feed sounded interesting but it was a later book in the series so I'm going in from the first one.

Update: Finished Terms of Enlistment a few days ago and moved onto the second book in the Frontlines series Lines of Departure. I'm 60% through it at the moment and really digging the series so far. I'll probably finish it this weekend. I'm also reading through the Preacher comic series.


Solaris was good overall but the hard sci-fi portions about the planet were a bit of a chore to get through. I was way more interested in the people involved in the story than the technical aspects and history of the planet they were on even though it's important to get a sense of just how alien the place is.


I love sci-fi in general but I've always been more of a horror/mystery book guy. I felt like Terms of Enlistment was a good choice for getting into the military sci-fi genre and couldn't wait to get into the next one when I finished it.

edit: fixed bolding since I was posting from mobile and didn't do it originally. Also added an update above and links below.

I would recommend Terms of Enlistment and Lines of Departure. Good books. Although you'd have to read through both books to get to the part you'll love, it will be worth it.
