Good science ficiton novels?

obin_gam

I'm looking for something that has the same feeling as Battlestar Galactica, set in space where its wartime or alike where politics have a large part to play in the story. Any suggestions?

I've been eyeing Iain M Banks' The Culture-series and it sounds somewhat interesting, and also Old Man's War. Are these good? Other suggestions?

You've got to start with Arthur C.Clarke's Rama trilogy - it's the sci-fi law.

There is a sci-fi thread just hunt it down and they'll help you out better than me.

Ah thanks! (I searched and couldnt find that thread, I guess a mod can lock this one then)

Timothy Zahn's Conqueror's Trilogy.

Well, before the thread is locked let me suggest Frank Herbert's Dune. I've read it three or four times and I'm actually reading it again.

I've owned the original Dune trilogy for a while, and still have yet to finish the first book.
