Title: Honor Harrington - David Weber Media: 14 books in the main series Where to find: the first nine novels (and four anthologies) are available for free here: http://baencd.freedoors.org/Discs/Baen%2001/index.htm Summary: Starts off as Napoleonic Wars IN SPAAAACE, with Honor taking the role of Horatio Hornblower Content warnings: Lots of violence and (non-graphic) rape; bit of eye-gore in book 2 Why you like it: The space battles are well-plotted, and the characters and the challenges they face are compelling. I love treecats on general principle (fuzzy little buzzsaws!), and Honor herself (along with her peers) is relentlessly competent and dedicated. I also have a big thing for spy tropes, which Cachat and Zilwicki fulfill with gusto.
