Summary: Honor Harrington returns to the deck where she belongs
Review: Honor returns to her rightful place on the bridge of a starship. She again prevails when all is ranged against her. Excellent detail.

Summary: Great Science Fiction Series
Review: I came to the Honor Harrington series late, but I'm glad I discovered it! I'm now four books into this series and I have enjoyed every one of them so far. Weber gives us a little bit of everything in this series: what life would be like in a royal navy, political shenanigans (although Weber seems to have a dislike for politicians of every stripe), war, and a heroine like none other. Honor Harrington is as tough as any man, but also as feminine as any woman is capable of being such a situation. I've never been a great fan of hard core military SF, but Weber's writing is so exciting, so detail that it just draws you and won't let go until the very last page -- and even then you're chomping at the bit for more. There's a lot to draw you in with this series -- great writing, exciting adventure, political intrigue -- but it is Honor Harrington who's at the center of every novel and the character that hooks you from the very beginning and refuses to let go. Harrington is a rarity in military SF. A fully-realized heroine who can kick (...) and take names without blinking an eye, a woman who takes pride in duty and honor, a woman who doesn't suffer fools well, and a woman who stands up for those unable to stand up for themselves. She is the epitome of an officer and a gentleman (woman). My hat goes off to David Weber for not only creating one of most interesting and exciting science fiction universes to come along in a very long time, but also for creating one of the best science fiction heroines ever!

Summary: A very enjoyable book.
Review: I found this book to be very enjoyable. It does not contain the space battles that the previous books had but it is still very good.It is not just a love-fest as a previous reviewer suggested. In fact it is only in this book and The Short Victorioius War in which there is any serious romantic relations between people. This isn't a book I would start with but there is a lot of resolution to plots and subplots in the first three books of the series. However if you want a very striaghtforward military Sci-Fi adventure in this series go for Honor Among Enemies in which the enemies are given more dimension. I have nothing against Science Fiction that presents ideas but this book and this series for me is to relax in. To immerse myself in the book. Is it the best Science Fiction out there? No it isn't but this book and the other books in the series for me at least suceeds in one respect. It is entertaining and fun to read.

Summary: Not everything I'd hoped for
Review: I picked up this fourth Honor Harrington book first, knowing it is a series, but not knowing its order. It was recommended to me by people who said if I like Bujold's Captain Cordelia Naismith and her son Miles, then I'd like Honor. Harrington is more like Pvt/Sgt/Capt/Major Sharpe by Bernard Cornwell than Bujold's characters. Harrington and Sharpe are the perfect soldiers. Harrington has a tough time of it, certainly, but very little humanity seeps through.

Summary: Just a Soap Opera in Space!
Review: I purchased this novel because I wanted to try Military Science Fiction. I love Science Fiction literature and thought that I might enjoy this subdivision of SF. I have already enjoy SF novels with military settings like Ender's Game and Starship Troopers. I am sorry to report that I did not enjoy this novel. I didn't feel like I was reading SF. I felt like I was reading some old dusty military novel set in past. The characters and situations seemed to have come straight out of a soap opera. I don't understand why these characters were place in a future setting. You could have told the same exact story more believable by setting it in the past. This novel also didn't contain any of the sense of wonder and discovery that good SF novels contain. I think real SF fans are looking for stories with new ideas. I guess this Military Science Fiction stuff is not for me.

Summary: Weber does it again
Review: I think that this is the absolute best of every novel David Weber has written so far; since he's my favorite author, I guess this makes it my favorite book. :-) If you've been following the series, this is a HUGE must-read. If not, you'll still enjoy it! If I could have given it six stars, I would have.

Summary: Archetypes
Review: I think this novel was great! To all the readers that say it's just the same old stuff over again. It's the way David Weber has told the story that makes it new and original. If you look at all of our planet's literature isn't it all just the same archetype (general idea or moral that people incorporate into their stories i.e. betrayal, love etc.) told over and over again in different ways? I guess they get bored with every book they read.

Summary: The only true "Science Fiction" author I read consistently.
Review: I usually prefer Fantasy novels; but David Weber's strong female heroine lured me into this series and his writing has kept me comming back for more. I have to admidt that this particular book is the only one in my adult life to have me in tears from early in the book until the end. As much as I hated the character's death that made me cry - it was not a gratuitous death. This person's death not only defined the course of this novel, but also had a profound effect on the heroine's life and career. This effect has continued on into later books. This is the only time I have seen the death of a lover depicted as a life-altering event. Honor does not morn and then continue her life as before. This death effects her actions in this book, changes the path of her career and contiues to echo into later books about her. I hate seeing such an important character die, but David Weber made his death a major pivital part of the book and Honor's life

Summary: Not the best Honor book
Review: I'm a big Honor Harrington Fan. Despite the somewhat satisfying ending, the long sequences of black depression seem out of character.

Summary: Good book, yet lacking in realism
Review: I've read most of the book in the Honor Harrington series, and after careful consideration, this one is the worst. I found that it was much too predictable. The death of Harrington's lover is MUCH too predictable, and in the end leaves the reader with a sence that he was killed not because of the advancement of the plot, but becasue it simplyfied the plot for the following books. Another thing that annoyed me was the fact that in this book unlike all of the others Honor Harrington is portrayed as a super hero, not simply a person incredibly good at her job. She can do it everything she tries perfectly. And honestly if I wanted to read a book where the hero could do everything perfectly I'd pick-up an issue of superman! In the end, I'd save myself a few bucks, and a few hours of reading. Fortunately the book has many saving graces, the least of which is a good and realistic look into the feelings of the people in the book. Personally I would have better appreciated this book if Harrington could fail at a few of the small things in life, like she does in the others. Nobody is that good at everything, Pilot, Captain, Marksman, Martial Artist, Tactitian... there's gotta be an end somewhere. Thankfully this unfortunate elevation of the character is corrected in the following books.
