====== O Homeworld My Heart : Tales from a War Between Worlds ====== A hard sci-fi military story series that would give David Weber a run for his money, written by [[offtopic:Angry scotsman 1989]]. The series deals with a civil war between Earth and its breakaway Martian colonies and is notable for the high degree of scientific realism it uses in its spacecraft desings and space battles. It is also a very character-driven story. Read it [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=190145|here]].
