For those who appreciate the fusion of science fiction and philosophy, ‘The Left Hand of Darkness’ by Ursula K. Le Guin is a profound read. Le Guin’s exploration of gender and politics on the ice planet of Gethen is both unique and thought-provoking, showcasing her ability to challenge societal norms.

Kris Longknife Series by Mike Shepherd could work. Lots of battles, very military history influenced. Easy, approachable reading, not great literature but solid entertainment.

I haven’t read any Warhammer, but Star Wars has a few good novels focusing on space combat.
My favorites are *Wraith Squadron, Iron Fist, Solo Command* and *Starfighters of Adumar*. All by Aaron Allston

Ian Livingston (co founder of Games Workshop) wrote a lot of books. That would probably give you the fix.
You’ve tried the Warhammer novels, right?
