Yes all great stories - But  David Weber "Honor Harrington" stories are also
worth considering, nepoleonic naval tales retold as space opera with a good
background of associated politics and predjudice.  Like Bujold, Weber has the
knack of writing his heroines and heros into utterly awful situations and then
getting them out of these in believeable way

You mean there is another person on this planet who has heard of Weber???
He's another of my favorite authors, but nobody i ever talk to has ever
heard of him :(  Glad to see i'm not the only one ;) Hmmm, if i keep responding
to these i'll need to make a list of *my* favorite authors.
