Common themes

Common language

Many technical terms for advanced technology often appear in different settings. For example the word "molycirc", as a form of computing technology, appears in the Honorverse, The Apocalypse Troll, and the Heirs of Empire series, as well as the anthology Bolo!, and his newest book Off Armageddon Reef; in addition, a number of sayings or expressions appear across series and within a series between two distinctly different groups (such as "From your lips to God's ears!" or "hoisted by your own petard")

Common names

There have also been repeated use of several names across his novels. For example, a DeVries is found in both Path of the Fury and in the Honorverse series (cf. Path of the Fury is a stand-alone Science fiction novel by David Weber, in three books of 34 chapters the mentat Piter de Vries and the later Bene Tleilaxu construct of the same name in the Dune series by Frank Herbert). A Mentat is a profession or discipline in Frank Herbert 's Fictional ''Dune'' universe. The Bene Tleilax or Tleilaxu are an extremely xenophobic and isolationist society in the Fictional ''Dune'' universe created by In physical Geography, a dune is a Hill of Sand built by Aeolian processes. The name Hauptman is also seen, though not as a cartel or family, but as a missile system in the Fury universe. The name Foraker has also been used in the Honorverse and in the background of Starfire and the Empire From the Ashes series.

The Honorverse series is loosely based on the French Revolution and draws many names and references from that time period. The French Revolution (1789–1799 was a period of political and social upheaval in the History of France, during which the French governmental structure previously an A character called Oscar Saint-Just figured prominently in Crusade, the Honorverse and Louis de Saint-Just was a leader in the French Revolution.

There has also been a repeated use of the same basic heroine. Honor Harrington, David Weber's most famous character, as well as the heroines in The Path of the Fury, and Crusade, a female main character of mixed Asian-European descent who is a military officer, tactical genius, was considered unattractive until maturity, and ends up being a major turning-point in history (note: the main character in Off Armageddon Reef is of pure European stock, but was immersed in Asian practices such as Kendo).
