Summary: Well worth a read but slightly disappointing.
Review: I've read the whole book, and while it's a great setup at the start, the end just doesn't carry through. We're left with too many unanswered questions surrounding the characters in this "Honor" novel. None of the in-depth display of characterisation and development we have come to expect of a Weber "Honor" book. Quite a let down in the end but it still makes one's mouth water fot the upcoming "Worlds of Honor" to finish the story that should have been more completely told in this novel. I asume that the questions we so long to have answered in this book will be answered in the next, eg. What effect does Rachael's adoption of a treecat have on Grayson society? How does Grayson react to Honor's homecoming? Nevertheless, this book is a must for all us "Honorites" isn't it! Now we can just hope and prey that David Weber writes faster than ever before and completes the next Honor novel in timely fashion. Like right NOW! Hurry up David we're waiting for our next Honor adventure and you know that I for one don't want to wait long! Come on, give us MORE HONOR!!!!!!!

Summary: Back from Hell: A heavenly read
Review: I was terribly excited to finally read EOH and was very gratified once I had finished reading it. David Weber has created another great book in a highly addictive series. I can't wait for the next one!!!

Summary: Honor never disappoints!
Review: The latest in the Honor Harrington series! When we last left Honor, she was stranded on the prison planet Hades. It was lovingly referred to as "Hell". Everyone thinks Honor is dead. Honor's parents are major characters in the book as well. Honor is still without an arm and use of half her face. But we, Honor fans, have seen her look this bad before. I enjoyed watching her royaly kick some Peep butt! Honor fans have seen her pull off the impossible and she does not disappoint us in this one either. No, you other fans, don't beg! I refuse to give away any secrets this time. Read it for yourself. I WILL, however, say that Honor has lived up to her reputation again. Lots of military strategy, ground fights, space fights, and knocking a few chips off some well deserved shoulders. *evil grin* Even on a prison planet, Honor inspires loyalty. But she once again earned every bit of it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: The wolves are loose, best book yet.
Review: I finished the book and it was GREAT as usual. H.H.'s spirit is indomitable as she commands her warriors again. Multiple plots that spark the imagination carry you through to the END. The one eyed, crippled Pack Leader drives her hungry wolves on with the rest of the universe as a side bar to life. The only bad spot is will there be another H.H book?

Summary: WOW!
Review: Okay, I know that I've reviewed this book before but that was when I had only read 5 chapters. Now that I have read the first twenty, all I can say is: I am completely and totally blown away. If you haven't read anything by David Weber you have to start. He is a magnificent author.

Summary: Eight Books and still going strong
Review: I never order books before they are published, but for David Weber, I break the rules. I ordered this one in early summer and tried to be patient waiting for the release. It was not easy. I received my copy on 9/11/98 and have now read it through twice, foregoing food, sleep, housekeeping and laundry in the process. I am still as entralled with the characters as I was when I read the very first book, On Basilisk Station. An excellent read! Highly recommended for any sci-fi/military history fan. My only complaint, and it's not really a complaint at all, is that some of the plot lines were not wrapped up, leaving me waiting desperately for word of the next book!

Summary: Almost as good as "On Basilisk Station"!
Review: Ditto what everyone else said. I was lucky enough to read the whole book and the end made me cry. Well done, David - keep 'em coming!

Summary: May be the best of the series to date, if he can keep it up.
Review: Judging from the 22(!)chapters posted so far this is without doubt one of the two or three best novels in the Harrington series to date. It MAY end up being my favorite, depending on how Weber works the plot strands he's set up. We get to meet other prisoners on Hades, the beginnings of Manticore's development of the space equivalent of aircraft carriers, the reason for the Grayson's scewed male/female birthrate, sympathetic portrayals of the Peeps (some are honorable people doing their best in a deeply flawed system, etc.), and finally some interesting ways in which Grayson has advantages over Manticore. Great stuff. I hope that Weber can keep the series going to the end of the Havenite war and beyond (an Andermani conflict perhaps?); in short, just publish the damn thing, PLEASE!

Summary: As good as the best of the other novels in the Honor series.
Review: Based on the 20 chapters posted to date in the Baen publisher's home page, Echoes of Honor appears to be as good as the best of the other novels in the Honor series. David Weber's new novel continues to provide the best of military science fiction in a Horatio Hornblower style of writing. My only complaint about this entire series was that the last novel ended in a cliff-hanger (unlike any of the others in the series), but this is apparently resolved in the new book. (Note - some plot features from prior novels are mentioned below -- if you have not read this series, it really is best to start with the first book On Basilisk Station). Echoes starts out with burial services for Honor on both Manticore and Grayson and then follows military and diplomatic maneuvering on Grayson, Haven and Manticore and Honor's escape efforts on "Hell". There is also an interesting sub-plot involving the investigation by Honor's geneticist mother into the cause of the high male featus miscarriage rate on Grayson - and the political and social ramifications resulting from that investigation. As with David Weber's prior novels the character development is excellent and the overall societal construction is top rate. In all ways (based on the chapters made available) Echoes is excellent and highly recommended.
