Who the hell is David Weber?
An author, and a good one in my opinion. Should read his "Dahak" series, and what was the other one...right the "Starfire" series, real good books.
On which note
Baen Free Library
They publish his work and have a few of them for free download, the theory being you read the early works and then buy the rest.

For Weber, well I read the two Honor Harrington ones there on a recommendation. They are well written and hard to put down. BUT Stevie Wonder could see the plot twists and Ray Charles could predict what's going to happen. It's not subtle and there are no real surprises. Weber likes foreshadowing. A lot, almost to the point of ruining the books.

Plus Honor is never wrong. As in never. Whatever she's suspects or fears will happen.

Still I'd recommend looking at them, some people love them, some don't, but they are well written.
