The Great Redshirt Hunt

Authors have many ways of thanking and recognizing their fans. One of David's favorite things is to use the fan's name in his current novel. If the fan's character survives the encounter, this is called a "tuckerization". If the outcome is fatal for the fan's character, this is called a "red shirt".

Help us get all of the past redshirts and tuckerizations listed! If you have been a character in a David Weber book, or you have recognized a character that has been named for someone you know, or you know what book someone came from and it's not on this list, please send us an e-mail at redshirts@davidweber.net  If you include the book and the page that you recognized them from, it helps us a lot!
