With all the streaming services turning out all the glurge in the world, why the FUCK has no one picked up The Vorkosigan Saga or the Honorverse yet?

Rereading #Honorverse stories by #DavidWeber published by #BaenBooks and struck by the painfully spot-on resemblance of the Trump administration to the typical OFS-dominated Protectorate kakistocracy in the Verge. Svein Lombroso in the Mobius system particularly comes to mind.

Back when I started school in 2016, I was reading the #HonorHarrington novels from #DavidWeber and had to stop to focus on my classes. I finished school almost a year ago now and decided I need to get to reading those again, so I looked at the #BAEN website and found that there was only one novel left. I was almost finished when I stopped and didn't even realize it!
Anyway, it just arrived today and I can't wait to get into it. Problem is, I don't really remember what was going on in the story now. I thought of just skimming through the previous novel to try to get some idea, or even just starting over and reading all 14 novels straight through. As much as those options appeal to me, I may just dive into this last one and hope there is enough material to bring me up to speed on past events.
After I finish this series, there are a lot of other novels set in the same universe that I haven't even touched yet, and other completely different novels from Weber in collaboration with other authors that I want to get into also.
I was reading some #PeterHamilton too, so I need to see what he's published since 2016 and start in on those as well. But first, Weber.
It's going to be nice to start reading again after all these years. -

So I'm reading #KingsFall by @EvanCurrie . About 56% into the book and I find myself pondering #ChekhovsGun. Especially the consequences of I don't want to put this down.
If you are a fan of #MilitarySciFi or even #DavidWeber and @HonorHarrington you must read the #OdysseyOne series. #bookstodon #scifi

Ok, so I have read my David Weber "Dahak" series books a few too many times now, and I am curious if there are any other #SciFiBooks out there with self-aware AI planetoid size battleships. Christmas break is coming up, and I need a break.

@Melody_M As an #SF&F author, I've got some opinions about books in the genre!
I am not seeing all the replies, but I know someone recommended On Basilisk Station by #DavidWeber. This starts a fabulous space opera series with the main character a young naval officer named #HonorHarrington. The spin-offs are good, too. Your profile indicates some military background, so you'll appreciate it more. With a name like "Honor," you can bet ethics and principles come up a lot, and how this conflicts with winning or whether your side is good or bad. The subtext highlights the tensions between western cultures in our age, and how modern nations may look the same if you look at their cities—but Germany, the US, UAE, and Saudi Arabia are quite different when you look closer, and so is how they express their might.
For pure fantasy, assuming you're new to the genres, why not find #AnneMcCaffery's Dragon series? The spin-offs are good, if you can't get enough. I like #AndreNorton, but her series are retro and may be harder to find than Anne's, with some not in print.
For #urbanfantasy and books you can buy now, I cannot recommend #PatricaBriggs Mercy Thompson series enough. #Fairies, #Werewolves, and #Vampires coming out to modern society (mostly) and in a way that feels visceral and real. Romance, adventure, and coming of age.
As a #ClarionWest grad, I'd like to recommend two of my cohort to you, not just because I now them, but they're stories are amazing—and they are great human beings.
James S.A. Corey (1/2 a pen name for #DanielAbraham). The #Expanse series is hardcore SF at its #Heinlein best. Peak at Daniel's fantasy book, too! Look for the third name he publishes under, and you'll find great, snarky, urban fantasy. References to #PinkMartini, anyone?
#DianaRowland writes urban fantasy, but with the background of a former police officer (I think she made detective). Start with My Life as a White Trash Zombie for a #zombie coroner. Maybe a conflict of interest there? Start with Mark of the Demon for a #demon summoner who's also a detective, with, again, some conflicts of interest. Adventure, mystery, and romance, too.
If someone asks nicely, I may recommend my book.

@PaulRich see.. that's where I have a problem. I'm a huge fan of #HonorHarrington by #DavidWeber and he's totally changed how I see space battles. Ships should be so far apart you couldn't see them with just your eyes. Missiles taking a long time to reach you. Sort of like modern sea battles, I guess. and, based on Ender's game (books) - at least 1 ship should be upside down! 😃 ha! I love geeking out. But this is such a beautiful pic.. what is the background?
