If you want "Hornblower" in space read the "Seafort Saga". Nick Seafort becomes humanities greatest captain however he considers himself a pathetic failure because he sent all his friends and quite a few cadets to their deaths (in his defence there was a war on), its like that StarTrek episode where Troi realises the only way to save the ship during her test is to send Geordi to die

C.J. Cherryh's Atevi novels are very interesting, despite the fact that the main characters a diplomat.

And there's a series...by a guy...about a castle with 144,000 doors. And everything in the castle is constantly changing. Funny. Mind to tired to find the one book I have and find the name.

And Digital Knight, by Ryk Spoor, aka Sea Wasp, aka he of the very good fanfic(What I have read so far) aka the guy who got his start in the fiction industry by getting into an argument with David Weber(or Eric Flint, I really can't remember).

And Eric Flint's Grantville novels.

And www.baen.com ,for those poor souls who havn't found the free library and webscriptions and thus have to wait at their local bookstores and librarys for many good books.
