Epic Scifi Novel Suggestions

[blugill]

I'm looking for something with massive capital ships, interstellar intrigue, and lots of action.

I've started the Honor Harrington series and I'm really not liking it that much. It's just not as exciting as I was hoping and I'm really struggling to get through it.

Any suggestions and why would be greatly appreciated!

I've read Dune and that's a great series but it's a darn dense series.
