Just worked through the Frontlines series by Marko Kloos and the Man of War trilogy by H. Paul Honsinger. Looking for another naval/space/military sci-fi series to jump into on Kindle. Any recommendations?

Old Man's War by John Scalzi

This. For an older but somewhat similar feel, check out The Forever War series.

Old Man's War is a given.

Galaxy's Edge series

Black Fleet series

https://www.amazon.com/Warship-Black-Fleet-Trilogy-Book-ebook/dp/B00RS8FT2G

The audio book versions are great as well.

Not kindle, but check out Firefly. Pretty cool first season. Waiting on the second to come out.

Totes. Should come out any week now

Lost fleet series is good and there are some follow up series

Falkenberg's Legion by Jerry Pournelle

The Expanse

David Weber's Honor Harrington series is supposed to be pretty good - think Horatio Hornblower in space.

Straying quite a bit into science fantasy, the Ciaphis Cain series and the Gaunt's Ghosts series in the Warhammer 40k universe are generally good easy reads.

Margaret Wells' Murderbot Diaries series has some military feel to it.

I devoured The Expanse Series, by James S. A. Corey. Not sure whether it's technically a military sci-fi , but it is excellent. It's 8 books with a 9th and final book in the works, supposedly.

Fringe plus the above, altered carbon and firefly. These are shows so not sure if they have book counterparts.

To me that's more space opera than mil scifi. Same genre as The Vorkosigan saga

That's true, but the military parts of the story are outstanding hard scifi.

Frontlines is so good. I can't wait for his next book.

Unfortunately this conona virus is going to push it back even further.

The Expeditionary Forces books by Craig Alanson can be silly and immature at times, but there is good military SciFi in them too. They are also fun quick reads.
They are all free on Amazon Prime.

I just started his new series Palladium Wars. First book is out with second book due in May. So far so good. Frontlines 7 due in November too.

It's a little more along the firefly lines than hard military sf, but I have enjoyed the Chaos Quarter series by David Welch.

Loved loved the first 3 of old man's war. Hated the last 3. Scalzi has another series called the interdependency that is good too.

I almost suggested this series, but I figured it was more silly than proper military sci-fi. Enjoyable series, though the last book, Valkyrie, kind of pissed me off and soured me on the series.

In a similar vein to Expeditionary Force, there's the Omega Force series. Omega Force is by the same author as Black Fleet, but way less serious than Black Fleet. It's a bit more serious in overall tone though than Expeditionary Force and really enjoyable.

Red rising Trilogy

The Omega Force books are great, and the Kindle versions of them are cheap.

It's not "space" scifi, but J.L. Bourne's Tomorrow War books are really good.

The audiobook versions read by RC Bray are amazing! I can't imagine reading the text version now.
