HH is the 'main' Honor Harrington series (by David Weber) -- excellent MilSciFi, IMO.
The numbers are indeed years, and are measured Post Diaspora (The Diaspora officially began in 2103 A.D. -- that's
Anno Domini , just to be thorough
)
WOS, OS, & SI refer to the 'other' books in the same universe (The Honorverse), that don't have the "main" character of Honor Harrington in them, or only in passing). I'm not sure what they actually stand for in HenryCat's list, but I recognize which sets of books HenryCat's referring to.
I think SI is Saganami Island (the name of the island where the Naval Academy is located in these books). OS may be 'other stories,' as they're from the anthologies of short stories that are kinda tangental and contributive to the "main" plot line, but I could be wrong there. I don't know what WOS is intended to mean.
That book is a spin-off, that I think is intended to be the start of a new sub-series, as
The Shadow of Saganami also means to be.
