At least one story I know of that uses this plot device, at least in its backstory, is David Weber's Honor Harrington books. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_

- smhinsey 16y agoI see it come up pretty often in passing, sort of like the scenario this looks like, although I haven't read anything from this series. Do you recommend it? I'm always looking for new sci-fi.
- dstorrs 16y agoIf you dig space opera then yes: Honor Harrington is your woman. The first few books are excellent. Once she gets promoted past the point where she can really be a ship captain, the stories turn political and start to drag a bit. Weber evidentally realized that this was not working, because he's started writing about new characters who are lower-level and therefore more interesting, so the newest books are once again a blast.
- smhinsey 16y agoThanks, it sounds like something I'd go for. As it turns out, I actually already have a few books by David Weber on my kindle but they are from a different (or no) series.
