You know, that's about when the series lost it for me as well.

I stopped reading it at "In Enemy Hands", and frankly, it was more  
like I was choking down the last couple of books because they're  
supposed to be good, more than anything else; they're all so damned  
repetitive, and I got really tired of the political ham-handedness of  
it all.

That's unfortunate, because the first few are REALLY good; it's just  
too bad Weber sank pretty quickly into Steven King xerox-novel mode,  
cranking 'em out.
