Summary: Why isn't it October yet?
Review: David Weber continues his exellent Honor-series with this book. Allthough he writes more for the techno-people than Lois McMaster Bujold (Miles Vorkosigan-series) it's still one of the best sf series ever. This book picks up where the previous book left off. The expanding political scene gets more and more complex as it seems to be going full circle...And a special Thank You to Baen books for releasing the first 17 chapters of the book as preview (A mean thing to do! =) )

Summary: Brain candy!
Review: I have to say that David Weber gives us what we want EVERY TIME! I don't think that there is a more well put together series out there. Read the first and you'll be hooked. Weber gives you one hell of a ride! You'll fall in love with his Cptn. Is it wrong?

Summary: Five Stars--if you like the genre
Review: Ditto to 90% of everything else said here--with a few additions... I gotta say... It ain't literature (I mean the "dictator character lives in "New Paris and is named Rob S. Pierre!)--but it doesn't have to be. It's a superb and exciting story--cliches aside. I mean nobody ever read Alexander Dumas' other books--they read the action adventures like The Three Musketeers. David Weber is, well... sort of like Alexander Dumas. And also a little like C.S. Forester. Plot and characterization are excellent--so we can forgive the "Rob S. Pierres"... Publisher Jim Baen (somebody here called him BEAN!!!) has also been uncommonly generous by previewing 15 whole Chapters and counting. HINT: Read the OTHER books in the series first. Then it will all make sense.

Summary: Thorough characterizations and fast paced action guaranteed.
Review: David Weber has done it again! With 14(!!) chapters posted on the Bean sample site, it is by far the longest sample they have ever given. Thank you Bean! We see several plot/sub-plot lines developed, meet some interesting new friends, and get to wrack our collective brains with suppositions as to where David Weber is going to take Honor and Co. next. This superb author continues to amaze with his breadth of understanding in human, poitical, and military affairs, and his excellent writing. Truly, the Honor Harrington series has crossed genre lines and should be recognized for the truly fine literature it is. This is a MUST READ.

Summary: David Weber continues Honor's trials and tribulations.
Review: Honor's trials and tribulations continue, even when she is lightyears out of the picture. But definately not Dead & Gone!!! Her influence at both her funerals is tearfully humorous, with visions of wrathful retribution on several fronts, by her compatriots and friends. When we catch up with Honor, her and her Sphynxian companion's difficulties have many of her companions and cohorts also wishing for retribution (and more likely to get a chance soon). Her well trained team (read close friends) are already infiltrating Hell's comm & weather satellite systems. The two "procured" assault craft are well stocked and leave Honor only one problem to solve before she takes Hell by Storm, PERSONNEL. And who better to fill that slot than the worst troublemakers on the prison planet, conveniently located close by on the equator. Honor relocates her resources, and heads out to the camp. Her sworn armsmen help her hack her way to the camp, where she meets th! e first of her new allies, and discovers that some of her captured comrades are also on planet Hell. As I read the first twelve chapters on the Baen web page, I couldn't help but wonder what all of Honor's family, friends, comrades and enemies will do once they discover the PEEPs premature announcement and "VIDEO" of her death is a lie... Oh well, I guess I'll just HAVE TO buy the book. (This book is due out in October) best wishes, Ray Beck

Summary: I Love It!
Review: Baen has now posted twelve chapters from Echoes of Honor. They are intriguing and I really want to finish it. David Weber does a superb job looking at Honor's supposed death from her family, friends, allies, and enemies perspectives prior to going back to her current situation on Hell. Without a doubt, I anticipate this will be one great read and I am quite hopeful that David won't repeat his prior mistake of ending a book too early (or possibly Baen's mistake of putting too many chapters online) thus spoiling the actual book. Either way, I love the character and am quite excited about the book....which better be available in September!

Summary: I can't wait for the rest!!!!
Review: I, too, have read the first five chapters of this book that were provided by Baen (Thank you sooo much!!) It looks like it is going to be another soul searching, rip roaring ride! I do not know what I would do if David Weber kills off Honor Harington, she is the most complete character I have read in a long time. I feel as if I know her and all the other characters personally. To sum it all up: YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH A HONOR HARRINGTON NOVEL!!!

Summary: Looks good from the preview
Review: Just a note - We do get to see Honor's viewpoint later in the book (as if David Weber would cheat us out of those scenes).

Summary: A slow start to what bids to be a fast ride
Review: Reading the sample chapters at Baen's web site, the book starts off dealing with the complications of Honor's supposed death, including her lack of direct heirs, the Manticoran politics, the Grayson politics over the succession, the possibility of a sibling from her pro-longed parents ("another 100 years of fertility") and the acceptability of same, plus the Haven politics ongoing. THEN, we hit Book 2: and the marooned Manticoran personnel are starting to organize their resistance and find a way to escape. I am panting to buy this in hardcover.

Summary: A non-tragic tragedy
Review: This whole series is really great, but I must admit I felt real reluctance about tackling this one! I thought that so much had already happened to our heroic heroine this one had to be a real tearjerker. I envisioned all sorts of torture and bad luck continuing to plaque Honor and her loyal crew, and I really didn't want to read anything too depressing.
But the author actually managed to turn the whole book into a triumph of good over evil. Every challange was met by brilliance and determination. The storyline was intrigueing,and there was nothing at all tragic about the way Honor once again blew away the competion. The only bad part was that it left you hanging and a reader absolutely HAD to get the next book, immediately. Well, that wasn't really a bad thing for me, since the sequel was already out and like it predecessors, promises to be top notch entertainment!
