Title: Emphasis on Scientific Explanation not on characters
Review: David Weber's Honor Harrington books were recommended to me because I read a lot of Elizabeth Moon. However, the two authors have completely different approaches to similar material. Moon focuses on the characters and their interactions, while Weber spends pages explaining how the technology behind the ships was developed. If you're into that sort of lengthy technobabble, this is a book for you. If not, I suggest Moon's Sporting Chance as a good place to start.
