    Aasimov's book "Nemesis"
    Do you recommend that book.... I'm looking for another read and I kindof liked Asimov's foundation series.

      I finished Nightfall some time ago. It was a pretty good read too.

        I don't remember Nemesis that well.... it was a while ago... more recently some sci-fi books I liked were Ender's Game, The Light of Other Days, and A Fire Upon the Deep. I also like Arthur C. Clarke.

          Read Asimov's Robot novels: Caves of Steel, Naked Sun, Robots of Dawn, and Robots and Empire.

            Should I add those to my reading list as well? I'm always looking for a good book to read...

              By all means...

              Speaking of good reads, I've got an interesting idea. Perhaps we should start a Hive Book Club, each month we'd select a new book to read and then discuss (I've always wanted to be part of a book club).

                  Stay on the subject!

                  The subject is unit naming if someone had forgotten!

                  Anyways i have some last resort ideas:

                  Annihilator
                  Obliterator
                  Mutilator
                  Violator
                  Alligator

                  Among the more hive-like ideas are:

                  Stalinist
                  Leninist
                  Cossack (Not communistic but anyways)
                  "Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outwards, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment."

                  -- Sheng-ji Yang, "Essays on Mind and Matter"

                    Thanks, Comrade Scorpi!

                    We already have the Kozak / Cossack unit (Scout Choppers), but thank you anyways.

                    Any other ideas? Comrade HongHu? Chairman? Doughnutman Comrade Octavian X?

                      If we've got some regular infantry units, why not 'The People's Army?'
