WEBER, David

WEBER, David
(? -)
   US writer of several sf adventures, all with Steve White: Insurrection (1990), set in a rebellion-torn Terran Federation, Mutineers' Moon (1991), a TIME-TRAVEL tale in which the rebels, along with their sentient spaceship, are transported into Earth's distant past, continuing their adventures in The Armageddon Inheritance (1993); and Crusade (1992), in which another spaceship, this time ancient, destabilizes a Galaxy-wide peace. His greatest solo success has been the Honor Harrington sequence of space operas, featuring a female protagonist in a series of military adventures which have been likened to C.S. FORESTER's Hornblower books, but which are far more action-oriented; the series comprises On Basilisk Station (1993), The Honor of the Queen (1993), The Short Victorious War(1994) and Field of Dishonor (1994).
