Summary: impossible job dumped on a new commander
Review: Exiled to a career ending assignment Honor shows how to turn defeat into victory. One under strength ship forced to perform tasks way beyond anything anyone there had ever seen. How a gutsy commander goes about being what every commander should be. She shows how one determined unit can stand up against massive odds and still hold her Navy'a highest traditions. She takes a crew and welds them into a hightly effective unit. Developing each of the crew to perform tasks never before attempted. I enjoyed the characters they were well developed.

Summary: A light escape to the space-ways ...
Review: Thoroughly entertaining for readers after some light escapism, but only for FF (Futuristic Fiction) readers who like a liberal dash of pseudo-science. A little two-dimensional with very little depth to the characters, this book none-the-less offers enough action, political-intrigue and fantastically despicable antagonists to make it a great read despite a sometimes annoyingly perfect heroine. As a woman myself I have no objection to a strong female character, but a few flaws would make her seem a little more human. If you like this book I recommend that you seek out the rest of this series.

Summary: Commander Harrington stuck with a bad situation...
Review: The first of the Honor Harrington series introduces us to Commander Honor Harrington, a woman of uncompromising courage and integrity. She's just been given command of HMS Fearless. What she doesn't know, as the book starts, is that she also gets to be the guinea pig for testing a new type of weapon system. When the tactical exercises designed to test the weapon provide less than stellar results, the Admiralty decides to sweep the problem under the carpet. What they don't realize is that Honor Harrington refuses to be swept.What can I say? This is one of the best stories I've read in a long time. Despite its science-fiction setting, it is very much a 'people' story, and shows great promise for more tales. Speaking as a sailor myself, Commander Harrington, however fictional, is very much the kind of CO I want to ship out with.

Summary: A Great Heroine Leads Her "Genderless" Crew
Review: I rathered enjoyed this book, and thought the female protagonist was great. In the far distant future it would appear that any job aboard a Navy ship can be successfully carried out by either man or woman. Thats wonderful. On the other hand it seemed like the author simply assigned male and female names to the crew at random. The name was the only element that identified a person's gender. Does total equality mean an androgynous society? Lord, I hope not. Space opera buffs probably don't like mushy stuff in their shoot 'em ups, but to me some gender identification would have made people more realistic. Honor is a likable and competent skipper, and I enjoyed traveling with her (obviously I could never flirt with her,though). While the plot never failed to hold my interest, I did get bored a bit when DW decided to provide me with a long orientation to his specialized knowledge of psuedo-science. I generally like scie nce in science fiction, particularly when today'! s theories are extrapolated into the future, but this story was full of the usual Star Trek gibberish. Terms like "bottle node", "impeller wedges" and "gravity sidewalls" abound, making us fully aware that we are indeed in an era of advanced technology.

Summary: The begining of a great series!!!!!!!
Review: This is the first book of the Honor Harrington Series (which is still growing). This series has good characters, political intrige, interstellar war, ect..... The space combat is realistic (well, more so than you'll find watching star trek) were ships don't fly like planes in an atmosphere and they don't close to visual distance to fight. Honor herself is a great hero that you'll quickly fall in love with; how could you not like a lady that is as tough as they come and can out fight half the know galaxy with ship, gun, sword, or even her bare hands. I also have a personal love for Nimitz, her empathic (telepathic?) treecat. If you're like me, you'll need to read the next book (there is no want about it). A MUST FOR ANY SCI-FI FAN. A MUST FOR ANY MILITARY FAN.

Summary: Great science fiction reading entertainment
Review: Great story line, good charater development. After reading had to go out and get the sequel. This story reminds me of the great science fiction sagas of 50's and 60's .

Summary: A good space opera
Review: The character and writing are excellent, but the naval combat element gets a little weird in my opinion.....have serious problems with any milieu where the ship design grades through Battlecruiser, Battleship, Dreadnought & Super Dreadnought all operating at the same time. David Weber treats all warships as being different primarily in size and seems to resist (or be unaware) that navel ship types have always differentiated on function (scout, screen, utility, heavy combat).

Summary: Honor: Strength, honour and compassion
Review: I placed my first review in "Field of Dishonour". It says many things I believe, about why I (and many others) enjoy this series. While it is seldom intellectually stimulating, and often predicatable, it has a powerful (and for me) over-riding virtue. Honor Harrington does her job. Period. Her sense of duty, honour, loyalty, compassion and her simple worldview set and challenge readers to acheive a standard long buried in this modern age of compromise and isolationism. Read this book. Then read the others. You may not like the 'space opera' but you must admire the courage so rare in our society.
