I really enjoyed the books that he cowrote with David Weber. However the books he has written by himself just don't seem to have the same intensity or flow to them. I hope he and Weber will come out with another book soon in the same universe as "Insurrection".

I liked Crusade.

Those were very heavy on numerical description, though. It‘s always number X ships enter the wormhole, number Y intersect and explode coming out, number Z missiles are launched at them, they intercept number ... You get my drift ...

As this is also typical for space battles in the Honorverse, I can‘t help but think that this is a Weber thing, just like endless info dumps. On the other hand, I liked the books, too (either despite or because of my arachnophobia) and I did not really like White‘s solo works I read. So, where does that leave me?

Yay for Baylor,
Another resurrection of a very old thread, our hero!

Once a thread got baylored, it would be a pity to let it go to waste.

Can a single post be considered a thread?

Can a single post be considered a thread?

@dannymcg did, so that is a solid yes. Careful with them modal verbs, I say. I think Flannery O‘Connor would agree.

And look, now there are eight posts to the thread.

Back to the original topic, those books by White and Weber were based on games using their game Starfire.

At least I think that was the name of the game.
