DAVID WEBER
David Mark Weber was born October 24, 1952 in Cleveland, Ohio. His first plan was to become a history teacher in a college somewhere.
Luckily for us, that didn't work out. Instead of teaching history, he imagines new worlds for us to enjoy. Mr. Weber lives in Greenville, South Carolina.
He credits much of his writing in the Honor Harrington series with his early work developing the war game StarFire.

"'Bleek' yourself," she said, rubbing the ridge of its muzzle. The green eyes blinked, and four of the treecat's six limbs reached out to grip her wrist in feather-gentle hand-paws. She chuckled again, pulling back to initiate a playful tussle, and the treecat uncoiled to its full sixty-five centimeters (discounting its tail) and buried its true feet in her midriff with the deep, buzzing hum of its purr. The hand-paws tightened their grip, but the murderous claws - a full centimeter of curved, knife-sharp ivory - were sheathed. Honor had once seen similar claws used to rip apart the face of a human foolish enough to threaten a treecat's companion, but she felt no concern. Except in self-defense (or Honor's defense) Nimitz would no more hurt a human being than turn vegetarian, and treecats never made mistakes in that respect .... more |
