Hi folks, I need some help in finding a series of books I read a few years ago when I was working down in Australia. Just before I came home, I wrote the author and titles in my note book, and promptly left the notebook on board the vessel I was on.
Anyhoo, the plot went along the lines of a guy from a poor planet that gave him limited prospects, joins the space navy and works his way through the ranks. He achieved a military rank that belied his restricted birth right.
He fell in love with a woman, but they never married, there always seemed to be other more important considerations for both of them.
She went on to become an ambassador, and they met often as the series went on, and they continued their affair even after the woman did marry.
I can remember that the descriptions of the Navy ships were quite vivid, especially the anti gravity docks they had to use on the planets they visited because of the ships' huge size.
Not a lot to go on I'm afraid.
I know that the books are not the ones by David Fenteuch, or by Richard Stotts.
Any pointers graciously received
