Not cheery, but definitely good reads. Weber doesn't tend to write
dystopian, but he doesn't hesitate to make life difficult for his
characters if it adds to the story before giving them a happy (or at least
hopeful) ending.

Recommended. https://www.baen.com/empire-from-the-ashes.html US$8.99 in
ebook, your choice of format (epub, mobi, RTF, DocX, Rocket, lit). This is
the omnibus edition, with all three novels (Mutineer's Moon, The Armageddon
Inheritance, Heirs of Empire) in one volume.
