David Weber is a prolific author of science fiction and fantasy. He has written over 30 books and has worked on several others with Eric Flint, Steve White and John Ringo. This review covers the first book on Basilisk Station Honor Harrington series and in a general review of the entire series.
On Basilisk Station
This is the first book in the Honor Harrington series. In it we meet Honor, when you are about to take command of their first cruiser. Witha hyper-capable command under his belt and a second one can begin to finally get your foot on the ladder of command. But both his life and career are being a turn for the worse.
First, the arms at their new ship was gutted to make way for a new weapon. Second, their next command can not be in the past, his jealousy and work with her. Third, when the new weapon is revealed to be a dud lay person finds it easier to honor Admiral exile and his crew on Basilisk Stationthen admit the error. Fourth, they would rather complain then all the crew for their work. And if this were not enough, an old enemy Basilisk already allocated on arrival for an excuse to return to Manticore unnecessary repairs, so that their possession of the proverbial bag.
For years, Basilisk Station is the place that the Navy has sent their senior lives. No one seemed to care if the work we have come to do or not do.
Unfortunately for many peopleThey said that honor. Left with an impossible task, is to solve it. If they do not follow their jobs will be unhappy just behind it and press. When traffic is not their civil seizure of contraband as they did their best to start with the rules. And if the People's Republic of Haven believes that taking Basilisk Station and the junction will be removed easily from the Manticore wormhole, are a big surprise.
The rest of theSeries
The first six books of the Honor Harrington series are the best. These are well written, well designed and stand-alone. This will change when we got hold of the enemy. This is the first book that leaves you hanging, and there is a real cliffhanger. Even if the books are not written for the "cliff hanger" They all run in the next book. You can rest without the background of the books read, but not easy.
We see another big change in the books after"In the hands of the enemy." They are not only much longer but are also much more freely in writing. All of them suffer from a serious lack of editing. There are fewer battles and more political plots, all go-the-way, and confusing story lines. Echoes of Honor follow-up in the hands of the enemy, jumped back and forth between the lines the story so often that it was difficult to read. I used post-it notes on the chapters on the brand that fits the plot and read the bookSections.
If you are military space opera, as I suggest the first six books in this series.
They are:
1 On Basilisk Station
2 The Queen's honor
3 The short victorious war
4 Field of Dishonor
5 flag points in exile
6 Honor among enemies
In the hands of the enemy is also very good but I have had from the list of favorites because of the extension. I like to keep all the books that you hang up.
The rest of the books in the series are:
In 7Enemy Hands
8 Echoes of Honor
9 Ashes of Victory
10 War of Honor
11 At any cost
There are also four books, edited by David Weber, with short stories that take place Honor's Universe. Some of the stories are written by authors Weber and other other popular fiction. If you like this series, then you are like the stories in these books contain. They are:
More than 1 Honor
2 Worlds of Honor
3Change of Worlds
4 Service of the Sword
Two full-length books, Crown of Slaves with Eric Flint has written, and the shadows of Saganami completely out of line.
