Summary: Great Characters, But........
Review: The Honor HArrington saga is a great concept with great characters, but the novels are just too wordy. Whatever happened to the great SF editors of yesteryear, who would make authors prune their work? This, like just about every other work in this series, could get rid of 75 pages, and be mich better!

Summary: Give me more!
Review: The third in the "Honor Harrington" series does not dissapoint. The Cold War between Manticore and Haven turns into a shooting war. Besides the heartpounding battle sequences, Weber develops the human side of Honor further in this episode. Weber excels at character development and you feel the loss of every single one, no matter how minor

Summary: Political upheaval, and Honor Harrington's on the sharp end!
Review: The third of the Honour Harrington series, and well worth the read. The only less-than-complimentary comment I can think of is that there is, for my taste, a little too much focus on the internal politics of the People's Republic of Haven. That said, however, I readily recognize that it is utterly necessary, not only to the plot of the story, but the on-going events that form the back story for the series.Honor Harrington, having proved her worth at Basilisk Station (On Basilisk Station) and in Grayson (The Honor Of The Queen), receives recognition of that worth as the Admiralty appoints her to be the CO of a spanking-new battlecruiser, HMS Nike. By tradition in the RMN, command of the Nike is a plum assignment, and given only to officers who are head and shoulders above their fellow officers. Honor is then paid the compliment of being appointed to be the flag captain for Admiral Sarnow, and being tasked to form part of the defensive forces at Hancock Station. The state of polite hostility between Manticore and the Peeps is heating up, and once again, Honor and her ship will be on the sharp end. We are also re-introduced to Captain Lord Pavel Young, who seems not terribly interested in redeeming himself. In fact, his conduct during the climactic battle is anything but what one expects of an officer in command of a warship. This is a tight, well-written story. Read it, and if you've not read the other Honor Harrington stories - run, do not walk, to your nearest bookstore and get them before someone else does.

Summary: Amusing and entertaining
Review: This is the 3rd Honor Harrington novel and the long-awaited war with the People's Republic of Haven has begun. Weber knows his history and drops a few clever references in this book. The leader of the rebels on Haven is Rob S. Pierre who overthrows the hereditary ruler and forms the People's Quorum in the capital city of Nouveau Paris. Which sounds a bit like Robespierre who founded a similar entity during the French Revolution and instituted a similar reign of terror. The nature of the PRH is also very similar to other People's states which have tended to ride roughshod over the people, for their own good of course. I agree with other reviews that this isn't the strongest entry in the series and so it's not a good place to start reading it. You could read them in order beginning with "On Basilisk Station" or begin with "Changer of Worlds" which has stories that precede that book. The characters are as vivid as in the other books but there are so many I found it hard to keep track of who was who at times. It takes quite awhile for the action to start, but it's gripping when it finally does. We get a more direct look at Pavel Young's cowardice with consequences which are prominent in the next book in the series. It also spells the end of Honor's long celibacy, which managed to avoid the graphic detail seen in so many books today. Still I would take even a much weaker entry as long as it continued the compelling Honor saga. Who knows if or when we'll see another book in this series.

Summary: Great book
Review: This is the first book that I have read in the series, and I intend to read the entire series, I found that although I missed the first two novels, I was able to pick up the plot line with relative ease, even though it took me a while to get used to the flotilla of characters I loved its great pace and the way information was eased into the plot rather than coldly explained simply to get new readers into the plot faster.

Summary: Honor can be fun
Review: This is the third book in the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. It's a concious pastiche of the old Horatio Hornblower stories by C.S. Forester, right up to the initials of the main characters being the same. Honor is a captain the the Royal Manticore Navy, constantly competing with the decrepit but large and aggressive People's Republic of Haven. In the first two installments of the series, the Havenites tried limited offensives to win planets from the area between the two space nations, but in this book they decide to try for the throat, more or less. The resulting confrontation, with Honor right in the middle, is very suspenseful and interesting. There are characters from previous books, and the plot is fun. If there's a problem with the book, it's that because this story involves fleet actions, Honor's role in the story is somewhat more limited. It is interesting, however, and the characters are fun too. The author has clearly put a good deal of time into devising the space combat tactics of the age, and thinking things over. I would recommend this book.

Summary: Honor Harrington series
Review: This series is the best sf that I have read since Doc E.E.Smith's Gray Lensman series was published. I had given up on reading sf because most of what I found was reissuses -- I have been reading sf since the 50's I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Summary: like an old hotel mattress, sags a little in the middle
Review: To begin with, the Honor Harrington series (of which this is book 3) is a good read all the way through. Even when it's not at its best, it's still very good. That said, this isn't the best of the bunch. Its strong points are Weber's character development (he can introduce a new character and in a few pages you have the 'feel' of him or her), the depth it adds to Honor herself in terms of romantic relationships, and our first real look at the inner workings of the main enemy's government. There are some really great moments. However, by and large, the middle of the book is taken up with somewhat mundane activities. Mundane, that is, by the standards of the series; normally, I have trouble putting them down once I pick them up. Everyone kind of seems to spend a lot of time in the middle waiting for The Big Event, which doesn't really quite come in this book. At the end it leaves you hanging, with war and revolution frozen in motion--very much a teaser for the next book. One nice point is the appendix at the end about 'Honor Harrington's Navy', which gives some 'technical' details. Not a good first read in the series; start with _On Basilisk Station_ would be my advice. If you're reading the series, and already hooked, it'll be worth reading for you and will lead to more exciting things. Despite weak points, it's still great SF reading.
