Series
Starfire (Steve White and collaborators)
Steve White, David Weber, Charles E. Gannon & Shirley Meier · 8 novels · 1990–2018
The Starfire novels by Steve White and various co-authors, including David Weber, grew out of a tabletop wargame of the same name, following a long interstellar war between humanity and an insectile alien empire. Crusade and the books that follow escalate the conflict across a rotating cast of military and political viewpoint characters, in the tradition of large-scale military science fiction. Later volumes brought in additional co-authors to continue the war across further campaigns.
