Oops, my bad. Let me restate it: Honor Harrington kicks some serious tail. I read less and less SF as time goes by but Weber truly combines much of what there is to like about Forester and Heinlein; duty, honor, country great understanding of military tactics (and how politics can drive them) and characters with character.

No argument from me there. I still like Heinlein's juveniles, but his "adult" material got way too adult for me. I prefer my pornography in braille, and rather seriously monogamously. We recently decided (spouse and I both) that we didn't need that trash around the house anymore, and dumped several copies (we normally have two or more of each book we really like) in the garbage where they belong. My, how tastes change as you grow up. (Or maybe just as you grow older, I suppose. Not that it looks like it worked that way for RAH...)
