@S_R_Ellison Have you read any of Dennis E. Taylor's Bobiverse series? A man is uploaded to a self-replicating Von Neumann probe. As he explores the galaxy, he encounters copies of himself who develop very different personalities. Best of all, the series is complete.

@cirsova If you want military, historical or traditional science fiction you can find a lot in Kindle Unlimited. Some of my favorites: Andrew Wareham, Karl K. Gallagher, Patrick Larsimont, S.M. Anderson.

I had a Singer .45 when I was stationed in Bindlach, Germany with the 1/2 ACR. That Singer was the tightest, cleanest 1911A in the arms room. It was fun to joke about carrying a 'sewing machine'.
