John Birmingham recommends

The Last Watch (2021)
(Divide , book 1)
J S Dewes
"More fun than that time The Expendables, the Dirty Dozen and all of The Night's Watch all got picked up by a random quantum tear in the fabric of spacetime and shot out the edge of the universe to kick ass and save humanity."

The Aleph Extraction (2020)
(Intergalactic Cold War, book 2)
Dan Moren
"Faster than light writing, kinetic wit, and retro-futurist Golden Age style."

Eagle in Exile (2016)
(Clash of Eagles Trilogy, book 2)
Alan Smale
"Epic, bloody, and hugely imaginative."

The Battle at the Moons of Hell (2007)
(Helfort's War, book 1)
Graham Sharp Paul
"A planet-stomping space opera that bursts off the page like a tactical nuke."

The Company of the Dead (2007)
David J Kowalski
"Kowalski effortlessly smashes together high art and grand adventure in this alt-hist juggernaut."
