Buy One Book, Get Twenty-Two Free
The books to which the article is referring, if you don't click on the link, are the Honor Harrington series by David Weber.
Well, I can tell one Husband is going to be very happy. Not that we don't have all of these in paperback or hardcover already, but...
Me, I got about to the fourth book before the infodumps put me off entirely. Just can't stand books where the narrative breaks so that the author can spend paragraph after paragraph explaining some cool tech bit that he's written/discovered/created. Just tell me the damned story already!

Infodumps! Great word. That is exactly what Jean Auel has been doing wrong with her last few books. If I wanted to know how clever she was, I'd go top one of her PR gigs - otherwise just tell me the bleeding story!
