I'm currently reading through the first omnibus of Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan Abnett. It's essentially the first trilogy combined into one and consisting of First and Only, Ghostmaker and Necropolis. They're genuinely enthralling books and I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in science fiction. I would advise doing some background research into Warhammer 40,000 before you start, or you might be a little lost. Or you could do it as you go, either works.
Not that long ago, I finished The Volunteer by Jack Fairweather. An amazing book about an even more amazing story that most people would assume would be straight fiction if it came out of a movie. While it is about hope and resistance in the face ob tyranny, it also has an incredibly tragic ending. Who's the hero? None other than the legendary Pole, Witold Pilecki.
