It's a party - and you're invited! The hottest military science-fiction series of all time continues. The hottest military science fiction series of all time continues. The mission: to boldly explore David More Than Honor Honorverse; to deliver all the action, courage, derring do, and pulse pounding excitement of space naval adventure with tales set in a world touched by the greatness of one epic heroine: More Than Honor Harrington. The Star Kingdom has a new generation of officers! And this elite group More Than Honor and trained by Honor Harrington herself is going to be needed immediately, as their first assignment turns out to be more dangerous than anyone expected. What was supposed to be a quiet outpost, far from the blazing conflict between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the People's Republic of Haven has actually been targeted by More Than Honor unholy alliance between the slaveholders of Manpower. By: David Weber. The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Add to that the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar back yard, a problem which High Ridge also ignores. Rear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force led by Honor Harrington in an all-out space battle. The odds were against the Star Kingdom forces, and they had to run. But Michelle's ship was crippled, and had to be destroyed to prevent superior Manticoran technology from falling into Havenite hands, and she and her surviving crew were taken prisoner. As the slavemasters of Mesa plot against the Star Empire of Manticore and the newly liberated slave planet of Torch, Anton Zilwicki and the notorious Havenite secret agent Victor Cachat set off on a dangerous mission to uncover the truth concerning a wave of mysterious assassinations that have been launched against Manticore and Torch. Sometimes things don't work out exactly as planned. The Mesan Alignment has a plan - one it's More Than Honor working on for centuries. A plan to remake the galaxy and genetically improve the human race - its way. Until More Than Honor things have gone pretty much as scheduled, but then the Alignment hit a minor bump in the road called the Star Empire of Manticore. So the Alignment engineered a war between the Solarian League, the biggest and most formidable interstellar power in human history. There are two sides to any quarrel Queen Elizabeth of Manticore's first cousin and Honor Harrington's best friend Michelle Henke has just handed the "invincible" Solarian League Navy the most humiliating, one-sided defeat in its entire almost thousand-year history in defense of the people of the Star Empire's Talbott Quadrant. But the League is the most powerful star nation in the history of More Than Honor. Its navy is going to be back — and this time with thousands of superdreadnoughts. After the disastrous attack on the Manticoran home system by forces unknown, the Royal Manticoran Navy stands on the brink of collapse. A shadowy enemy with the resources to hurl warships across hundreds of light years seeks to conquer the Star Kingdom for reasons unknown, while forces from within Manticore's own government seek to discredit and weaken the Navy for reasons very much known: their own political More Than Honor. Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment 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. Fire in the forest — and a cry for help from a trapped and desperate alien mother! Unfortunately, this is one cry no human can hear. Stephanie Harrington, precocious year-old Provisional Forest Ranger on the planet Sphinx, knows something is wrong from the uneasy emotion that is flooding into her from her treecat friend, Climbs Quickly. Still, their strong and direct bond of feeling may be enough By: Jane Lindskoldand others. Stephanie Harrington had always expected to be a forest ranger on her homeworld of Meyerdahl until her parents relocated to the frontier planet of Sphinx in the far distant Star Kingdom of Manticore. It should have been the More Than Honor new More Than Honor - a virgin wilderness full of new species of every sort, just waiting to be discovered. But Sphinx is a far more More Than Honor place than ultra-civilized Meyerdahl, and Stephanie's explorations come to a sudden halt when her parents lay down the law: no trips into the bush without adult supervision! Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person who likes an orderly universe. One where people follow the rules. Unfortunately he lives in the real universe. The good news is that Travis is one of those rare people who may like rules but has a talent for thinking outside them when everything starts coming apart. That talent has stood him - and the Star Kingdom - in good stead in the past, and it's one reason he's now a "mustang" - an ex-enlisted man who's been given a commission. What price victory? The war with the Republic of Haven has resumed. Everyone knows Eighth Fleet is the Alliance's primary offensive command, which makes it the natural assignment for the woman the media calls "the Salamander. The Mesan Alignment: a centuries-old More Than Honor that seeks to impose its vision of a society dominated by genetic rank onto the human race. Old coalitions have disintegrated. New alliances have been born. Stirling, two of today's top writers of military science fiction, to join him in an exploration of Honor Harrington's universe. I must admit I am hooked on the Honor Harrington series. The Honor-universe series gives us more insight into the times and history than could be provided in the original series. This book is a collection of three short stories. The first is about young Stephanie Harrington and the first encounter with the tree cats. This is also covered in the youth series about Stephanie, which adults will also enjoy. The second covers archeology about early space travel to More Than Honor. The third book covers the history of the engineering developments of space travel and the discoveries that allow for hyperspace travel. You really must enjoy science and technical information for this story. It also covers the Winton family and it's rise to power of the Manticore system. The three narrators, Victor Bevine, L. Ganser and Khristine Hvam did a good job reading the stories. Looking forward to more in this series. Confession: I'm an Honorverse fan. If you'r reading this, chances are you are More Than Honor. This is not the More Than Honor book I would recommend to someone I'm trying to introduce to the Honorverse. We hear the back story to Honor's distant relative who settled on Sphinx. We also get a primer on the physics and math behind the methods of travel used in the books. In short, if you're already a fan More Than Honor Honorverse books - this is a great book that will fill in More Than Honor of the More Than Honor in the back story. The performance, is as good as the writing, but in spots can drag. If you are reading this, then you are completely hooked on Honor Harrington Universe. This book is a first collection of short stories and should be listened after "In Enemy Hands". Do you remember Honor's story about "missing celery"? Later this short story was turned into spin off series More Than Honor teenage readers: Star Kingdom series It was very interesting. The events take place during one of the coup d'etat attempts. This is your chance to confirm everything you think you already know about Honor Harrington Universe. This is a good book for anyone who plans to write within the Honorverse theme. It's not so great as a relaxing sci-fi read. Waste of time. First story is just the first few chapters of A Beautiful Friendship. Second story was boring AF. Third story was actually mildly interesting.
