Cool FT Book

I've begun reading a good space opera with a FT style (actually shades
of
StarFire). It's "In Death Ground" by David Weber and Steve White. I
think
any FT fan would like it. Does anyone know if the other two, earlier,
books
in the series are similar?

The book has a couple things that would be interesting additions to FT.
One
of the races has "datalink" technology that allows a number of ships in
a
certain range of each other to "merge" their shields and fire control.
Thus
their defense is increased and their missile attacks arrive in a single
volley. This could be an interesting addition to FT on a number of
levels
(shields, ECM, fire control, massing missiles, etc).
