Funny, but I was just in the process to write the same thing. I just got
through reading the second book of the series, I think it is called "The
Queen's Honor" or some such. I am now on the third called "The Short
Victorious War." This is really a FT series. As Monty said above, they
are
heavy into missile use. Some times the physics in the book gets deep but
overall very good. It makes me want to figure out some mini-missile
massive
missile bunker FT system. If anyone has designed something that we can
start
with, I would love to see them. 

Get the books. Good Stuff. David Weber is the author. There are 4 books
in
the series.
