Very, very nice books. Great science fiction, if not so great science fiction. Weber's very consistent, however, and has a thought-out explanation for nearly everything, so it's a smooth ride.
I like the fact that both the "good" guys (Manticorans, Greysons et al) and the "bad" guys (namely, Peeps) get coverage. Indeed, many of the latter are portrayed in pretty sympathetic light.
Also, the way Weber has written his books as the French Revolutionary period in space (down to the details; note that the secret meeting where Pierre & co. decide to start the revolution takes place at an abandoned tennis court... compare this to French history!) is a hoot.
