Re: Honor Harrington

Another good choice for getting a feel for Nelson's style of Navy in 
the far future is a series by David Fientuch or Feintuch (can't 
remember exact spelling) - They are about a young man who works his 
way through the ranks as an officer cadet up through being a captain. 
It is reminiscent of the books on Nelson. It gives a good flavour for 
Navy life and the powers of a Captain a sea (in space?). 

Challenger's Hope I think was the name of the first book in the 
series. The main character was Nicholas E. Seafort. 

Mind you, I didn't buy the very latest book in the series because I 
did kind of get tired of it. He should have stopped after three or 
four. But the first one especially is a great book, and the second 
one is good too.
