Summary: She's BAACK!!!!
Comment: After On Basilisk station RMN Captain Honor harrington is back with a vengence. In the last book she had to deal with earning the respect of her new crew. This Time It's a Planet. Fighting both Haven and a new Player The Masadans She is fighting almost a millenium of Misogyny and religious zealots she has fight not only for her Honor(No Pun unless you want) and the honor of her queen( there's that pun again). Again David Weber brings Old style sea battles to outer space. Like before these books have a slow build to an exciting climax. if you read the first you'l want to read it again just to see how NImitz and the rest are doing. and Nimitz has an active role this time

Summary: A VERY Worthy Follow-Up To "On Basilisk Station"!
Comment: This book is an excellent piece of work, both from the perspective of character development and from the perspective of technical details. Weber develops highly enjoyable characters of considerable depth, but manages to include enough data regarding technological considerations to actually provide a plausible "guesstimate" of what future military personnel may face as humanity goes out into space. He also includes some interesting speculative sociology, as the star nation Honor Harrington is trying to help are the descendents of extremely conservative fundamentalist Christians, with some very outmoded and counterproductive ideas regarding the "proper place" of women in society. One of the most interesting themes in the book revolves around the mutual discomfort that Harrington and her prospective allies feel toward each other, and how this gradually evolves to respect. Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Summary: Honoring Honor
Comment: The other reviewers have amply decribed the storyline, and fully expressed the reasons why you should read all the books in this series. Unfortunately, some of the other reviewers refer to the Graysons as being misogynists. Okay, a few of the guys are so insecure and immature that their need to keep the women in their place, so to speak, certainly does look like "woman-hating." Once you get to know these noble people, you'll be able to tell the difference between the ones who will murder to preserve their comfortable status quo and those who will die to allow every person, regardless of gender, race, or belief, to meet their own Test.
