My personal experience with the Harrington books was that the first one was a pretty enjoyable read. After that, each book got progressively more bloated, with an inverse correlation in quality. I still re-read the first 5 or so, but after that I just don't bother. Actual character development takes a far backseat to heavy-handed political commentary. It actually pretty sharply mirrors my experience with Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan books, come to think of it.

This review is pretty much all you need to know. Oh, John Ringo no.

Moist von Lipwig posted:In the mean time, anyone have a choice-few really good books from the Baen Free library I would second mllaneza's recommendation of Laumer. Personally I don't think you can go wrong picking up almost anything by David Drake. If you like Basilisk Station you would probably enjoy some of the other Weber books like The Apocalypse Troll, Mutineer's Moon and the March Upcountry series. There's also BaenCDs at the Fifth Imperium for other free books that aren't all in the Free Library.
