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.

Yeah
"The Flood" is considered the first book and is right out of the game, I thought this one was OK. But the book to read the prequel
"First Strike". This does have good character development, and a good setup for the story line.
I've not read any of Cherryh books, is there a book you would recommend.
