All different combinations appeal to me. -looks around his room-
Yeah I can't think of anything plot wise right now. >.<

Recent sci-fi exposure for me is the Falcon Banner series. Basically a police officer is accused of killing a high ranking military officer. Whom is Amsus (a race that defeated mankind and now made them the lowest caste in their hegemony). That officer is on the run from Amsus Law and even from lawless men who want him dead. Accidentally while trying to survive he revives hope for the old Empire and then decides to revive it. 3-4 years since the first book have gone by and the Empire is crumbling internally, just barely afloat. He's a warlord (bascially commander over all military) and Highlord (kinda like...a team within the political spehre but not a political party). The tech is pretty futurey and gets "better" as the book goes. Because it's war it's more of adapting forgotten knowledge or the technology of other races in an ad-hoc manner to try and win the war before the empire completely splinters. Really fun to read with lots of character development, things going on, and epic space battles.
