I guess this counts as AH given as far as I know aliens are not taking soldiers from earth to another planet to grow drugs. Anyhow, this is one of my favorite series of books, I devoured these books in the 1980s and I have been waiting over 30 years for the fourth book to come out and it finally did earlier this month. Published by the late author's son and David Weber:
