Description

About the Author With more than eight million copies of his books in print and 33 titles on the New York Times bestseller list, David Weber is a science fiction powerhouse. In the vastly popular Honor Harrington series, the spirit of C.S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower and Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander lives on—into the galactic future. Books in the Honor Harrington and Honorverse series have appeared on 21 bestseller lists, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times , and USA Today. Additional Honorverse collaborations include the spin-off miniseries Manticore Ascendant with New York Times best-selling author, Timothy Zahn; and with Eric Flint, Crown of Slaves and Cauldron of Ghosts contribute to his illustrious list of New York Times and international bestseller lists. Best known for his spirited, modern-minded space operas, Weber is also the creator of the Oath of Swords fantasy series and the Dahak saga, a science fiction and fantasy hybrid. Weber has also engaged in a steady stream of best-selling collaborations: the Starfire Series with Steve White; The Empire of Man Series with John Ringo; the Multiverse Series with Linda Evans and Joelle Presby; and the Ring of Fire Series with Eric Flint.

The back-stories and character histories matter

When I know the history and people that contribute to the series' main character (Honor Harrington) it adds color and depth to events.

Honor Harrington by David Weber is one of the best series.

Lost my series of books in a home fire in 2017. Through Amazon I am slowly replacing my favorite books. I read each book as it comes in. It is better than TV. Reading this series is helping me to survive this crisis.

Inspired me to re-read the whole series with this background in mind.

I loved the beginning stories. How Honor's mom and dad met is truly an adventurous start. Timothy Zahn's A Call to Arms is an introduction to his Honorverse trilogy, which I really enjoyed and would love to see more of these characters.

Uneven Collection of Stories

Timothy Zahn, as usual, wrote a great story, “A Call to Arms” with an extended naval engagement in the Manticore system fought by the newly formed RMS. David Weber wrote “The Best Laid Plans” about teen age Honor Harrington unintentionally meeting two treecats. Weber also wrote “Beauty and the Beast”, a story about how Honor’s parents met, but it starts a little slow and seems implausible. “By the Book” seems poorly written and covers too much ground. And “Obligated Service” is a very complicated and uninteresting story about one of the first Grayson female midshipman and her family problems.

Great series

Great book love the series, I do have an issue I wish with this book and others I have bought from amazon, A lot of the time the vendor's place their sticker's in inconvenient area's making it difficult to read what's under it oft time's the short synopsis describing the story, Also if and when I had to resell it the bookstore's penalized me for the sticker's or even refused to buy(sorry I know that complaint belongs elsewhere but my search for that option turned up empty maybe this will get result's)
