28 Series

David Weber is an American author renowned for his work in science fiction and fantasy, spanning genres such as epic fantasy, space opera, alternate history, and military sci-fi. His most notable creation is the character Honor Harrington, central to the "Honorverse" series. Weber emphasizes character development as a key element in his writing process.

David Weber's Honor Harrington series has spawned several spin-offs, including the Wages of Sin, Saganami, and Honorverse Young Adult series. Collaborations with other authors have enriched the universe, such as Crown of Slaves and Torch of Freedom with Eric Flint, and the Empire of Man series with John Ringo. The Multiverse books were initially co-authored with Linda Evans, later with Joelle Presby starting with The Road to Hell. The Manticore Ascendant series is a joint effort with Timothy Zahn, and A Call to Arms was co-written with Thomas Pope and Timothy Zahn. Weber's expansive universe also extends into graphic novels, with Tales of Honor 1 written by Matt Hawkins, and The Gordian Protocol co-authored with Jacob Holo.
