Yes, I'm a big fan of David Weber. I love Honor, as well as "Great Kaja" and her squad. He also has a fantasy series (Bazhell) with a formidable female warrior in it. Almost all his female characters are to be respected for thier intelligence as well as thier lethality.

Honor does stand out, though, if only for the fact that he's written more about her than anyone else. She's a brilliant tactician, devastating in hand-to-hand combat (re. the attempted assination of Protector Benjamin), and absolutly deadly with a pistol, killing a man with her first shot, and putting six more into him before he hit the ground (he really shouldn't have killed her boyfriend). Her genetic modifications (which she inherited from her father) were intended to make her more suitable for heavy gravity plantes, and she regularly ups the artifical gravity to 2G when she works out.

But she's much more than a killing machine. She's embarrased by her notariaty(sp?), incredibly caring of her friends and underlings, grieves for her dead, and, luckily for the male population, doesn't take after her mother.

yes, Yaponvezos, we (USA) have a communist party. And the Democrats favora very socialist agenda. They are always talking about "redistribution" of wealth, and socialized health care.

If you ask a Canadian about thier health care, they will tell you how bad it is. They tell the doctors how many times they can perform any specific operation. If you need that operation, but they've done all they are allowed to do, you can't have it, even if you can afford to pay for it. That's why many Canadians go to the USA to get treatment.

Actually, he may well go to Cuba. They have a really first class hospital that is only available to foreigners and Party highups. That's the "Socialized Medicine" that Moore saw when he made "Sicko".
