What I'm reading

Just started On Basilisk Station, the first Honor Harrington book by David Weber, which has sucked me in pretty effectively. I just finished There Will be Dragons, by John Ringo. Both of which were motivated by finishing all the currently available books in the March Upcountry series, which is by both of them. All are good military SF, if you're remotely into that.

You might want to try some of the following:

The Dahak trilogy (aka "Empire from the Ashes" in its omnibus form) by Weber. Last I heard, AD Vision was having an animated version of the first book, "Mutineer's Moon", made.

If Accidental Time travel mixed in with your SF floats your boat, try the "1632" series (firs book by Eric Flint, Weber and other authors contribute to later books), and Leo Frankowski's "Conrad" series (which starts with "The Cross-Time Engineer")

I've met Weber personally, and sat talking with him for a couple hours in the con suite of a SF convention at 1 AM. He's really fun to talk to - espescially if you get him talking about his high school misadventures (like the homemade explosives he and his friends cooked up and detonated on the school grounds...).
