David Weber broke his wrist.  He couldn't type.  So he was dictating.
If you've ever heard Weber talk, he tends to go on at great length.
Repetitively.  And no one had the balls to edit him (It's David
Weber!!!) so that's one reason his books have been getting longer and
ramble on.

Or so I was told by someone who co-authored a series with him that is
on hold indefinitely because that coauthor wants final cut authority
on the next collaboration, but Dave Weber isn't giving it up.

But seriously, Honor Harrington should have ended about three or four
books ago.
