Has anyone read the STEN series by Chris Bunch & Allan Cole. Pretty good space opera.

aye they seem to capture the spec ops mentality pretty well. i also get a kick out of the emperor's body guard being ghurkas. the am2 guns are a reach somehow for me though.

I've read most of them. The authors seem to have a firmer grasp of how real SpecOps work than most SF writers. They also have what I can only call a "charming" idea of how an interstellar empire might be made more-or-less workable. (I love their use of the Gurkhas.) My only quibble (and it's a minor one) is their not-entirely-consistent use of AM3, their version of anti-matter (or perhaps "unobtainium"?)..
