Summary: Another triumph!
Comment: David Weber once more proves that he can write a gripping, exciting story. In "Ashes of Victory" he focuses not so much on the main character of the series, Dame Honor Harington, but on the bigger picture. He gives us more insight on other characters in the his universe. I was particularly pleased with the look the reader got into the minds of some of the key characters, specifically, Elizabeth III Queen of Manticore, Oscar Saint-Just the head of StateSex for the PRH, and Dame Honor's mother Allison Harrington. Long time readers of the series feel as if Honor is a close personal friend from reading the books, and now we get to know her fiends, family, and even enemies better. Weber manages with "Ashes of Victory" to write a more cereberal novel without sacrificing any of the action and conflict that readers of this series have come to expect and enjoy. I sincerely hope that this is not the last Honor Harrington novel, but if it is, one could not ask for a more perfect conclusion to a wonderful series. Thank you, Mr. Weber.

Summary: Growing Pains
Comment: I posted an early review for this book right after it came out and I gave it five stars. I still think it gets five stars after rereading the book again.It needed to be written, and it was written well. Then I look at the reviews here on Amazon and see peope whining that there was not enough action and adventure. Grow up! Honor sure is. And the universe David Weber is writing in is growing up too. If you cannot handle a pause in the action, GO READ SOMETHING ELSE! Sorry if that sounds harsh, but the series needs the breather. And I wanted to know what is happening on the fronts other than the war front. Why certian things mentioned in other books happened, and what happens to characters we all know and love. Life goes on and I wanted to see some life, not war. Good job David. Keep up the good work.

Summary: Look out Manticore and Peeps
Comment: Please note, I went to college with David Weber, forewarned is forearmed.
Honor is back from the dead, but without an arm and an eye she can't fight. She can, however, teach. She has the first native born Grayson female middy as a student, as well as the responsibility of restructuring The Crusher curriculum. Nimitz can't talk to his fellow cats(his telepathy speaker is broke), so Honor's Mom suggests sign language as a cure, and now even the sceptics must acknowledge thats cats are as smart as humans. The Peeps are still in charge on the frontlines of the war pushing the alliance back, but McQueen is in trouble over St. Just's paranoia about her. Manticore and the Graysons have some new secret weapons that they belive will win the war.
OK, is that enough excitment for you? Although it isn't my favorite book in the series, it is well written; but, this book seems to be the start where editors start losing control of David. Repeated descriptions of the same thing start creaping in to his writing. To the good, we become more familiar with the royal families of Manticore and Grayson, and learn more about key figures in the Peeps navy. If you haven't read any of the Honor Harrinton series start with On Basilisk Station and read all 11 of the novels. The 4 short story books are also good, but they aren't needed to apreciate the novels. They do however expand the whole Honorverse.
