I haven't read the Gordian Protocol yet (didn't know it existed). I've got a bone to pick with Weber over his last book "Out of Darkness". It was a typical Weber book (not his best, perhaps, but in the pocket)....and then he ended it Deus Ex Machina style. I couldn't believe it. I felt betrayed.
But I have enjoyed all the Honor Harrington Spinoff Series. Eric Flint is another author that does great collaborations....particularly in the 1632 Series. But still....he doesn't market them with his own name the way we are speaking about with these "Author as Contractor" books.
