However, the next to the last few were as much intrigue as space battles, but the last couple pick back up.

You might hunt down the three-book trio that make up what's called the Armageddon Inheritance. Very interesting concept!

BTW, most of the early Honor books (and probably the Armageddon series) can be had for free off the the Baan website. Plus hundreds of older (Sci-fi) authors' works. A good place to do some reading to see if you like the authors without spending money.
I did start with Basilisk Station. It's ok but I'm really not into it. I've heard great things that's why I picked it up. I'm less than a hundred pages from finishing it and I haven't picked it up in a month.

I thought this is exactly what I'm looking for and it just doesn't move me much. I might give it another shot though!
