David Weber
David Weber has been writing basically military science
fiction. His currently published novels fall into
four categories, as do his
forthcoming books.
Honor Harrington Series
This series is essentially a science fiction version
of a Napoleonic
Fighting Sail
series, in the manner
of Horatio Hornblower, and others. Weber has gone to
a great deal of trouble to incorporate
all of the wonders of 18th Century naval warfare,
including broadsides, bow and stern chasers, and sails.
The first novel even features a chase somewhat reminiscent
of Hornblower chasing the Natividad off the coast
of South America in (I'm drawing a blank on the title
here). The protagonist is Honor Harrington, a (space) naval officer
with a
treecat
"familiar/companion."

Heirs of Empire
This series, or universe, relates significant events in the future
history established as the background for the
Starfire
game universe. While not direct sequels in the usual sense (the
characters are not the same), they do belong to the same chronology,
although they need not be read in order. They are co-authored
with
Steve White
.
