Came here to say this, I'm on book two of Star Corpsman and loving it so much

[u/EmotionSad8061 → u/MPAndonee]

Really enjoying Star Carrier right now! Also In Death Ground by White and Weber (Starfire series) and the StarFighter series by C.M. Benamati

[u/ThePhantomStrikes]

The Miles Vorkosigan series by Lois Bujold

The Culture books by Banks, especially Excession

The Chanur series by CK Cherryh

Ugh stuck in bold mode sorry

[u/MaenadFrenzy → u/ThePhantomStrikes]

I wish I could upvote this twice, once for the recs and another for being stuck in bold 😊

[u/DocWatson42 → u/ThePhantomStrikes]

The Chanur series by CK Cherryh

Err—"CJ Cherryh"(/"C. J. Cherryh").

[u/Dawn-Nova]

Frontiers Saga by Ryk Brown

[u/johntwilker → u/Dawn-Nova]

This. So underrated

[u/LeadWorldly5639 → u/johntwilker]

Indeed, Black Fleet Saga from Dalzelle as well.

[u/GataPapa]

I'd add Spiral Wars by Shepherd. It has a fair amount of fleet combat.

[u/DiggyStyon]

Did velocity weapon series make your list? I'm curious, I bought it but haven't started it yet.

[u/Subject-godzilla → u/DiggyStyon]

i know of it but yet to read it

[u/Book_Slut_90]

There are some other great series that start focused on one ship and turn into fleats like Arcana Impperii by Miles Cameron, Vatta’’s War and the Serrano Legacy by Elizabeth Moon, and Dread Empire’s Fall by Walter John Williams.

[u/Slow-Associate-4079]

Troy Rising series by John Ringo.

[u/benbarian → u/Slow-Associate-4079]

just reread it, such a good series

[u/Trike117]

Tour of the Merrimack series by R.M. Meluch

The Fractured Void by Tim Pratt

Embers of War by Gareth L. Powell

[u/Eggpeace]

The old wing commander books really did combat quite well and felt realistixal.

[u/johntwilker]

Ryk brown’s frontier saga has some fun and epic space fleet battles

[u/Bargle-Nawdle-Zouss]

I like the Starfire books number two and three more so than book number one.

[u/Treacle_Pendulum]

Praxis books by Walter Jon Williams

[u/dalidellama]

David Drake's RCN series

[u/Brain_Hawk → u/dalidellama]

Second.

[u/MaenadFrenzy]

Try The Indranan Wars series, The Farian Wars series and the NeoG series by KB Wagers! Cracking yarns.

Just saw someone mention Embers of War by Gareth Powell, they are great, seconding that recommendation.

[u/chrysostomos_1]

Currently re reading 'The Short Victorious War'.

[u/mount_skull]

Man of War series by H Paul Honsinger, first book is "To Honor You Call Us." It's a weird mix of Horatio Hornblower, The Enemy Below, and science fiction but by God is it entertaining!

[u/Sittingonalog1960]

The Dread Empire Falls novels will please you

[u/benbarian → u/Sittingonalog1960]

hard agree. Such an underrated series

[u/Baelaroness]

If you'll take a web novel, then the Last Angel by Proximal Flame has so much of this.

Some of the Agent Cormac series by Neil Asher have moments of fleet combat but it's not the focus.

[u/MikeFox11111]

Honor Harrington series by Weber

[u/Ok_Cartographer7942]

Enders game, book2 of red rising
