Les premières nouvelles de l'Honoverse : indispensable au fanPar Kallisthène"A Beautiful Friendship" de David Weber :Une partie de l'attrait et de l'originalité de la série de Honor Harrington repose sur l'existence des Chats Sylvestre et le lien télépathique qu'ils établissent pour la vie avec un être humain. Hélas jusqu'à présent ces chats n'ont occupé que des seconds rôles dans l'histoire de Honor Harrington et n'ont donc pas été très développés.D'où l'existence de cette nouvelle où David Weber fournit tout ce que vous vouliez savoir sur ces néo-chats à six pattes.Mieux, il a également écrit une vraie nouvelle avec de bons personnages, une intrigue et de la tension dramatique (“Attention, un hexa-puma … argggg !”).Vous suivrez donc les aventures de Stephanie Harrington, lointaine ancêtre donc de notre héroïne actuelle. Stephanie est une adolescente surdouée dont la famille vient d'émigrer de Manticore vers Sphinx et se retrouve donc isolée au milieu de la forêt, loin de tout habitat un peu conséquent. De plus ses parents ont des jobs forts exigeants.Stephanie a donc du temps, beaucoup de temps, elle décide donc d'élucider le mystère du céleri-qui-disparaît … si, si, ne riez pas, voila in fine ce qui va faire voler en éclat la discrétion de nos amis chats.Car nos petits amis observent les humains depuis leur arrivée sur leur planète et ont même réussi à passer totalement inaperçu jusque là. C'était sans compter sur Stéphanie qui non seulement parvient à découvrir l'identité du voleur (“Grimpe vite” du clan de l'Eau Éclatante d'où viendra par la suite Nimitz, si, si) mais aussi que la présence d'un sac pour emporter plusieurs pieds de céleri sur son dos est plutôt suspect.Ni une, ni deux Stéphanie décide alors de retrouver “son” chat au milieu de la forêt, malgré les dangers d'une planète encore vierge …***********************************************************"Un grand tour" de David Drake : il s'agit d'une histoire inspirée d'un fait réel, concernant la découverte de la pierre de Rosette et son déchiffrement au milieu des guerres Napoléoniennes. Transposée ici dans l'espace Solarien dans une rivalité entre un archéologue amateur du genre pilleur de tombe et un jeune noble Manticorien disons plus raffiné, sur fond d'élucidation de la lecture des livres- cristaux de l'espèce extra-terrestre disparue appelée les Alphans.Sauf que l'issue positive de cette lecture n'a eu aucun impact dans l'histoire principale où les aliens restent apparemment persona non grata. Pire l'auteur y a inclus une aventure militaire frisant le ridicule contre un croiseur Havenite …Au mieux anecdotique.***********************************************************“Un Souffle de mitraille” de S. Stirling nous place du côté de la République Populaire de Haven, peu après la prise de pouvoir par Robert Pierre et Oscar saint-just du comité de salut public. Ces derniers, rassemblés dans un unique immeuble au centre de Nouveau Paris sont eux-mêmes victimes d’un nouveau coup d’état de la part des niveleurs. Et ils n’attendent que la hache du bourreau car le brouillage des télécommunications leur interdit de reprendre la contrôle des troupes au sol.Mais le salut viendra du ciel, de la Citoyenne Amiral Esther McQueen qui prendra le risque d’agir sans ordre et de descendre une frégate spatiale dans les rues d’une grande ville moderne et de disperser avec les résultats que vous imaginez la foule immense rassemblée par les niveleurs.Une plongée ma foi réussie dans les tumultes politiques de cette lointaine incarnation de la France Révolutionnaire.***********************************************************“L’Univers d’Honor Harrington” du maître lui-même donne une partie des clefs de la construction économique, politique, scientifique et militaire du gigantesque corpus que constitue dorénavant ce qu’on appelle l’Honorverse, il existe d’ailleurs même sous la forme d'un site wiki[...]d’environ 7000 pages à ce jour. On peut d’ailleurs considérer que ce texte représente le début de cette encyclopédie. Vous y trouverez l'histoire de la colonisation de Manticore, expliquant l'origine de leur Aristocratie, mais aussi celle de Haven et donc la raison de leur expansion guerrière (toujours aussi peu convainquant à mon sens).Vous y trouverez également les tables de limites de passage en hyper-espace en fonction du type d'étoile (si, si), les accélérations maximales en fonction des bandes hyper utilisées et du poids du vaisseau combiné à l'histoire du développement difficile du voyage supra-luminique. Vous qui rêviez de savoir comment fonctionnait une voile Warshawski, c'est le livre qu'il vous faut.Moi qui râle contre les infos “larguées” de façon indigeste dans les romans de SF (surtout), là je n'ai rien à dire, je dois même avouer avoir apprécié d'en savoir un peu plus sur la logique plutôt respectée qu'utilise david weber pour son univers.Indispensable pour les fans.0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. inegalPar marco2 nouvelles intéressantes et de qualité qui apportent un regard complémentaire à la série HH. 1 Nouvelle moins intéressante, et enfin un insipide catalogue du monde autour de Manticore ( technique, politique,...) , assez pertinent pour les fans, mais bon, faut aimer lire les dictionnaires....

    A CALL TO DUTY BOOK I OF Manticore Ascendant DAVID WEBER & TIMOTHY ZAHN A Novel of the Honorverse A Call to Duty: Book I of Manticore Ascendant David Weber and Timothy Zahn Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life . the two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assign- ment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction. The Star Kingdom is a minor nation among the worlds of the Diaspora, its closest neighbors weeks or months away, with little in the way of resources. With only modest interstellar trade, no foreign contacts to speak of, a plague-ravaged economy to rebuild, and no enemies looming at the hyper limit, there are factions in Parlia- ment who want nothing more than to scrap the Navy and shift its resources and manpower elsewhere. But those factions are mistaken. The universe is not a safe place. Travis Long is about to find that out.

I fell in love with the characters and want to read more. Following the Honor Harrington stories in chronological order, these are back stories for On Basilisk Station , the first Honor Harrington novel. My blood ran cold as I wondered whether he had finally decided to kill me. Stirling is "A Whiff Of Grapeshot". The last entry on the workings of the universe was actually fairly interesting, especially the story of the Star Kingdom and the explanation for the "two of your Earth minutes" trope. Unfortunately he lives in the real universe. It really seemed like it could have easily been dropped into another science fiction universe simply by changing the names of a few places and groups of people.
