Yes, I am aware of that. I was saying that I liked the books in the series that Weber wrote. It's a flip of the usual Weber co-author job where Weber seems to provide the frame work rather than doing most of the writing, the Manticore Ascendant series for example he did with Timothy Zahn. Those books seem to me to have a lot more of Zahn's writing style than Weber's.
The Ring of Fire universe has a lot of authors, most co authored by Flint, writing in the universe. I'm not sure if Flint actually co-author's the books or if he simply edits them and makes sure they follow canon.
While I liked the Belisarius Series (just finished listening to the audio book of the first one last month, to tie it back to the thread), that series has the aspect of Flint that I find annoying, i.e. the bombastic character who steamrolls everyone, mocking and insulting them, never questioning that he alone is absolutely right in all things. Naturally, everyone in the book totally approves of him.
