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.

Out of Darkness isn't his last book, it came out in 2010 and he's come out with several books (which I mostly liked) since then. I agree with your opinion of the book though. I don't think that Weber has been in the best of health over the last several years. I read that he had a pacemaker put in 4 or 5 years ago.
The good news is that he seems to have mostly come to have tied up most of the threads in his last Honor Harrington book. There are still some things unresolved, so the opening is there, but I would say that the main story has mostly concluded.
