David Weber
(1952 - )David Mark Weber is an American science fiction and fantasy author. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
Many of his stories have military, particularly naval, themes, and fit into the military science fiction genre. He frequently places female leading characters in what have been traditionally male roles.
One of his most popular and enduring characters is Honor Harrington whose alliterated name is an homage to C. S. Forester's character Horatio Hornblower and her last name from a fleet doctor in Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander. Her story, together with the "Honorverse" she inhabits, has been developed through 13 novels and four shared-universe anthologies, as of spring 2006 (other works are in production). In 2008, he donated his archive to the department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University.
Many of Weber's books are available online, either in their entirety as part of the Baen Free Library or, in the case of more recent books, in the form of sample chapters (typically the first 25-33% of the work).

David Weber recommends
Voyage to Eneh (2000) (Seas of Kilmoyn, book 1) Roland J Green "A hell of a good read." | When the Devil Dances (2002) (Posleen War, book 3) John Ringo "Marvelous!" | Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart (2002) (Through Wolf's Eyes, book 2) Jane Lindskold "What do you get when you mix lost magic and feral children with dynastic politics, wolf social dynamics, treason, and overambitious, social-climbing parents? You get Jane Lindskold's new novel Through Wolf's Eyes and another stay-up-to-finish-the-last-page read." | |
Black Powder War (2006) (Temeraire, book 3) Naomi Novik "Naomi Novik has done for the Napoleonic Wars what Anne McCaffrey did for science fiction: constructed an alternate reality in which dragons are real in a saga that is impressively original, fully developed, and peopled with characters you care about." | Firestorm (2011) (Destroyermen, book 6) Taylor Anderson "I cannot recommend Taylor Anderson too highly." | Unbreakable (2015) (Chronicles of Promise Paen, book 1) W C Bauers "I highly recommend it." | |
Valiant Dust (2017) (Breaker of Empires, book 1) Richard Baker "New and extraordinary...Go read this!." |
