DESCRIPTION:
The dangerous and multifaceted world of Honor Harrington-starship captain, admiral, and interstellar heroine-comes to life in a collection of short fiction that includes 'Ms. Midshipwoman Harrington', 'Changer of Worlds', 'From the Highlands', and more.
Readers familiar with David Feintuch's Hope series will also see similarities. In the novel, Honor is now a midshipman in the Royal Manticoran navy (which sails space, not the sea) on her "snotty" cruise. Like the novel, the three stand-alone stories, which are only lighted connected to Honor, have the flavor of C.S. Santino has a real problem with people who are smarter than he is and that definitely includes Ms. . Forester's Hornblower books. Weber gives a real feel for the military chain of command both the good and bad parts.

It tells the tale of Harrington's first tour of duty in space and clearly shows fore. Tantalizing Tidbits K. N. Nelson Like many others addicted to the Honor Harrington series, I was drooling over the prospects of savoring the latest addition to Weber's engaging feast of antics and action by a ballsy, totally entrancing heroine in futuristic space fiction.I especially enjoyed the riveting "From the Highlands" by Eric Flint that provides quite a different angle on the aggressive, covert machinations of a highly developed underground where a Manticoran aristocrat exiled to Terra supports a network of revolutionists who are involve. "Honor, Treecats and Politics" according to Dianna Deeley. Changer is worth having, bottom line. Ok? It's on the keeper shelf, and I had to move my sagas (the real thing) to fit it and begin leaving room for the next set of Honor Harringtons. Now to what's good and bad.Again, I complain that the treecats are getting too cute. I'm sorry, David, but they just aren't plausible to me. Not because of size, or a great many other easy objections, covered with a certain amount of neatness in the "teach them to sign" part of Ashes of Victory. I just can't quite believe in them a
