From Little Stack
Honor Harrington is the first name that springs to mind when I think of female-led sci-fi series. It’s the largest series—fourteen books with multiple spin-offs—and the character herself is one of the most powerful in sci-fi.
I love everything about her hyper-competence, duty-driven, and above all, her moral clarity even under the most intense pressure. I’ve enjoyed every minute I’ve spent reading her adventures filled with naval battle strategy, political maneuvering, and fighting to survive against impossible odds in the way that David Weber writes best.
Having made him look a fool, she's been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin by a superior who hates her.
Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station.
The aborigines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens.
Parliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system.
But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They've made her mad.
