I found them to be, very clearly, straight out of the game. First person shooters with little character development. The first book or two were fairly good but the series rapidly became boring IMO.
This may be off topic but who do you all think does the best spaceship to spaceship combat?
I have to nominate C. J. Cherryh for her absolutely amazing fractional light speed combat descriptions. I can not imagine how much time and research went into developing the concepts and extrapolating the impacts they would have on the characters. Amazing stuff.
David Weber's fleet actions are pretty special too.
