It's simple: when did you come across the work of David Weber, and which novel was the first for you?
For me, I was going out with my family to go do some fruit picking at a family owned orchard in the area where I live back during the summer of 2002, in the break between school years and I was looking for a new book to read from my dad's library. I saw In Enemy Hands and wanted to read it, but my dad said 'You'd get more confused than anything else. Here, take this one.' He went over to where he had his copy of On Basilisk Station, and handed it to me. 'Read that one first and the ones that follow, and then you'll be able to understand what happens in the one you wanted to start on when you finally get to it.' So my family and I went our way and I read OBS on the road, and that's how I came across David Weber.
