Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keep them coming
Review: This latest Honor novel is in my opinion the best yet. Don't buy this unless you've read the other Honor books, you won't appreciate the emotional maturity she's showing. This is my favorite but as one reviewer said the ending was too fast. Can't wait for the next installment in the series. Time for some romance though!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Too little Honor
Review: First of all, let me say that this was an enjoyable read. However, it was deffinitely not David Weber's finest work. To start with, it was too long for its plot. We could have done without the first half of the novel, which consisted entirely of shocked reactions to HH's "death", which the reader knew was fake anyway. And then lots of the rest was naval action sans Honor! I think this should be classified less as an Honor novel and more as Manties vs. Peeps, with Honor action sequences to liven it up.

I WAS impressed with the fact that the Peeps were finally humanized. You got to see the war from both sides, and I actually started to feel sorry for them. But the end when HH and company finally return home against all odds was too short. I was looking forward the whole time to her reunion with White Haven and how that affected the RMN, but all you got to see was the com transmition when they arrived! Well, I guess that's another book. (See Ashes of Victory)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Echoes of Honor
Review: Great plot development - a wonderful continuation of the story In Enemy Hands. This book opens up a number of new paths for other Honor Harrington books to go down. A truely great science fiction read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: another example of Weber's fine work with the series
Review: In _Echoes_ Weber gives us shades of the time Hornblower sailed the recaptured HMS Witch of Endor into a foggy British port by way of escape from the French. While the nicking of the idea is a little obvious, it doesn't detract from the story.

There's a lot of tension here, and a lot to tug at the sentiments of any Honor Harrington fan: treecat messed up, Honor messed up, no medical care available, eagerness to get off horrible prison planet. We do find that Honor continues to get more and more human as the series goes on: more able to be herself and less having to maintain an impenetrable facade; this is a nice touch. It's a lot of fun just watching the People's Navy get repeatedly humiliated, too. Say this for Weber: it's easy to hate his villains.

Fine reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hell should be afraid she'll take over
Review: Even missing an eye and her left arm, Honor Harrington is still one of the most dangerous enemies Haven ever made. Marooned on a prison planet known as Hell with a handful of her men, she vows to free not only herself, but every other prisoner on the planet. Meanwhile, ignorant of her survival, her adopted homeworld surges to the front of a genocidal war. Not since 'Remember the Alamo!' has a battle cry been so fervently invoked as 'Lady Harrington, and NO MERCY!' In a desperate arms race, the Manticoran Alliance must out-build and out-engineer the Peeps of Haven, or be utterly destroyed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Honor Harrington Delivers again
Review: I have read the entire Honor series. This is one of the best. Beyond the space opera aspect, the Honor series is great in character development and creates people that live and you want to get to know better. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Want more
Review: Just finished Echoes and have only read one other of this series (Field of Dishonor) but I will proceed to get and read the rest. Honor's values and humanity are what makes these books interesting. The various subplots complete and incomplete, sets the stage for more adventure. I look forward to watching the Honor Harrington story unfold.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Honor, What else can you say
Review: It's all about Honor...for the fan of space opera, this is it at it's finest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Echoes of Honor
Review: Waited for months for this last episode on Honor Harrington and was not disappointed at all. Could not put the book down. Humorous, exciting, tear jerker, absolutly wonderful. A must continue series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like Sci-Fi and battle stratgey, this book is a MUST!
Review: When I started reading the Honor Herrington series, I started with this book. The further I got into the book, the more I started wondering, "Could this really happen?" What he writes is so detailed, so percice, that it makes you wonder if his writing is fact or fiction. I give this book five stars because it is not only one of the best si-fi books as well as battle tactic books, it is also a great book if you haven't read the rest of the HH series!
