Ahh, Honor Harrington! One of my milSF novels, and probably the reason I like the genre as much as I do. Alas, it became one of those Fandom 180s for me; I threw At All Costs across the room at about fifty pages in and swore off the whole mess, because I Just Could Not with the sheer stupidity. But I still occasionally reread the first book.
(Have you ever read the series Weber co-wrote with Ringo? I did, back before Oh John Ringo No happened, and it was interesting how it revealed each author's strengths and weaknesses. The female characters are worse than Weber would write, but on the other hand a gay character actually exists.)
I'm jealous of the French for having much nicer HH covers! Oh, Baen, why are you so... *vague hand gestures* It's funny how after you've read ten of them you can pick out a Baen book just by the cover art style; I couldn't describe it to you, but I can say conclusively "that's a Baen cover" when I see one!
