He was getting on in years, so I don't think it hit anyone as a significant surprise.
Sometimes it gets reeeeally difficult to slog through the technobabble and battlebabble, but Honor is great, so I keep slogging...
What gets me is that in the latter books, only every other chapter is about Honor, and the inbetween ones are about other characters. I mean it's not bad for plot development I suppose, but I preferred it when the books were mostly centred on her.
And one thing to say about the Honor Harrington novels. Don't get too attached to any characters!
