Also, Demon-6 by David Mace.

David Mace is a pro pick. Very reminiscent of Peter Watts in bleakness, except with an 80s Cold War techno-thriller bent instead of Watts' hard science ecological collapse focus.

Fire Lance is his best known book, about a hardened second strike nuclear battlecruiser that gets one last mission after WW3 has already wiped out most of humanity, and nuclear winter is about to take care of the rest.

There was a neat RTS about 20 years ago called Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising:

Never played that game, but IIRC it was written by Warren Ellis.

Ooooh, an entry into the genre of late 80s-early 90s Abyssploitation, when James Cameron was working on The Abyss and everyone assumed it would be "like Aliens but underwater" and were rushing to make their own cheap knockoff underwater monster action movies to ride the wave of popularity.

Yes, and I dearly love all of those I've seen:

Deep Star Six
Leviathan
The Rift

I still need to get around to watching Lords of the Deep to collect the full set, I think.

Fire Lance is very topical right now.

I'd love to see a movie version of it, but preferably fictional.
