Saganami Island
David Weber · 4 novels · 1 short story · 2004–2016
Saganami Island spins off from David Weber's Honor Harrington novels to follow younger officers of the Royal Manticoran Navy after they ship out, starting with The Shadow of Saganami; it lets Weber tell space-battle stories elsewhere in the Honorverse timeline without needing Honor herself on the page. The series continues through Storm from the Shadows, Shadow of Freedom, and Shadow of Victory, tracking the same widening interstellar war from a different set of ships and commanders.
