Comment Honor and Bugs... (Score 1) 313
Actually, the bugs (er...insectiles, or insectoids, or whatever sci-fi version of the "how you spell vampyre, or magic, or whatever" game the author wants to play) aren't always the bad guys...the Thranx in Alan Dean Fosters "Humanx" series are probably better people, on a novel-by-novel basis, than the humans.
On a different track, GOD FREAKING BLESS YOU for your open "Weber writes novels with plots almost as complex as your average Harlequin Romance" stance. I have NO FREAKING IDEA why so many people who are into sci-fi like them, and defend Webber (I told the sci-fi geek at the local barns and noble that I think most of the Honor Harrington books are just paragraphs from the previous novels stuck together with "find and replace" used on the names and I swear to god he stopped talking to me).
