Tor Books, 2008

The world has changed. The mercantile kingdom of Charis has prevailed over the alliance designed to exterminate it. Armed with better sailing vessels, better guns and better devices of all sorts, Charis faced the combined navies of the rest of the world at Darcos Sound and Armageddon Reef, and broke them. Despite the implacable hostility of the Church of God Awaiting, Charis still stands, still free, still tolerant, still an island of innovation ...

The Arcanan Push Through the Portals

In the previous volume, Commander of One Hundred Hadrign Thalmayr finally arrived to relieve Hundred Jasak Oldenhan.

Mutineer's Moon (Dahak Series)

my favorite book
I love this book. Of my 5,000+ SciFi books, it is my favorite. True, it is a little bit raw. But, it tells a SOLID story and leaves you wanting more more more at the end. That is the sign of a great book. A sentient ship the size of the moon and the unique story of the "space aliens" makes for a totally cool story. BTW, I am reading it for the 5th or 6th time (who keeps count ?). Weber ...

Honor faces enemies within and without
Put on "the beach" and on half-pay by the Manticore politicians, Honor returns to Grayson, in this fifth novel in the series, and takes up her role as steadholder, as well as admiral in the Grayson navy. Reactionaries there want to get rid of her, the People's Republic sees an opportunity to maul Grayson. Honor gets to display not only her abilities at Naval strategy and tactics but also ...

Field of Dishonor
I was disheartened about this book before even picking it up. My first port of call was Amazon to read the reviews on the book. Numerous reviews made mention of the lack of Space Battles in the forth of the Honor Harrington saga. I'm reading these books for a Sci Fi, lasers flash'n, ships exploding, the good guys always win, fix. I knew I wasn't going to get it with this installment. This ...

The Armageddon Inheritance

29 reviews
David Weber

Baen, 1993

conceptual overlap with Off Armageddon Reef
This book is the middle one in a trilogy, commencing with Mutineer's Moon and ending with Heirs of Empire. Weber wrote these in the early 90s and never extended these, as of 2007. He has certainly been busy writing much else in science fiction. But it turns out that this year, 2007, he has recast this trilogy in a new series, that starts with "Off Armageddon Reef". The latter just came out, in ...

Off Armageddon Reef

Tor Books, 2007

A ripping tale
A well constructed alternate history tale with well fleshed out characterisations. Although those familiar with the history of Lord Nelson's victories at Akoubir Bay and Trafalgar will be struck by the similarities in tactics and events with those of the Crown Prince in handling his fleet the battles are brought vividly alive by Weber's imaginative prose. The book though long is a page ...

On Basilisk Station (Honor Harrington Series, Book 1)

David Weber

Baen, 1999

A Sci-Fi Role Model
This is one of the best "soft" science fiction books I have ever read (soft sci-fi being one not help scientifically supportable concepts found in "hard" sci-fi). The main character is well rounded, and while somewhat a caricature, manages to break out of that mold. The reader becomes very invested in her. The side characters are what really make this book sore. Unlike most other books of ...

War of Honor (Honor Harrington Series, Book 10)

Requires Thought
It is an excellent read but it does require some thought. Readers may find some applicability to the politics of today in it. Well worth the effort

The Short Victorious War (Honor Harrington)

David Weber

Baen, 2002

The second chapter in the saga
Honor Harrington is sent to aide Manicore ally Grayson and finds herself in the middle of what comes down to a religious struggle. Harrington is also in a situation where she has to address cultural differences between Grayson and Manticore in order to fight the "Peeps" and win. Weber did not disappoint with this addition to the Harrington saga. I found it a page-turner from beginning to end!

Ring of Fire (Assiti Shards)

23 reviews

Baen, 2003

Brilliant idea
A brilliant idea: both this book and the new series of which it is a part. All red-blooded Americans will like these stories, and probably many Germans, too. This is a better reading book than Flint's "1632" or "1633." Those are the novels that introduced the idea, of a bunch of small-town West Virginians mysteriously transported back to 1632 in south German lands in the middle of the misery ...

Baen, 2008

Good Read
I am sorry for those of you who did not like the rather complicated but very interesting new world Mr. Weber has created. I rather enjoyed it and thought the next book even better. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be immersed in a good yarn.

The Los Angeles Plaza: Sacred and Contested Space (Chicana Matters S.)

William David Estrada

University of Texas Press, 2008

Outstanding Book - Highly Recommended
The history of the plaza, laid out under the Spanish crown in 1781, is the history of Los Angeles. William Estrada has written a highly readable and comprehensive study of the founding and growth of Los Angeles under the Spanish, Mexican and American flags from a small pueblo, into its current day internationally renowned, cosmopolitan city. This book is not a narrow history of an ethnic ...

The Honor of the Queen (Honor Harrington)

The continuation of a great series
After Basilisk Station, you might have wondered, but Honor of the Queen confirms that whenever Honor Harrington is assigned some sort of mission she will accomplish at least two things: 1) just about completely destroy whatever ship is under her direct command (not on purpose - it's just an inevitable outcome of being led by her), and 2) she will absolutely devastated her opponents, emerging not ...

Honor Among Enemies (Honor Harrington Series, Book 6)

Honor Harrington no. 6, and it's off to Silesia in Q-Ships
A magnificent read, but why oh why do so many sci-fi wargame designers seem obsessed with Q-Ships? I'll forgive Dave Weber this once, partly because this book does at least make clear that the damn things are death traps, but mostly because it's such a cracking read. In fact this is my personal favourite of the current 17 books in the Honorverse. "Honor among Enemies" is the sixth book ...

At All Costs (The Honor Harrington)

Starts Slow, but Ends with a Bang
As this is book 11 of the Honor Harrington series by David Weber, this review will not dwell on the back story leading up to At All Costs - read the first 10 books to get an idea of the politics and machinations that this series has taken on. At All Costs picks up where War of Honor left off - with Manticore reeling from the counter-blow by Haven that kills the ceasefire and brings the ...

Baen, 2008

Interesting Times in Denmark
1634: The Baltic War (2007) is the seventh SF novel in the Assiti Shards series, following 1635: The Cannon Law. Obviously, this novel actually precedes the previous volume by internal chronology. The League of Ostend has King and Emperor Gustav Adolf surrounded in the fortified town of Luebeck. However, League attacks have been repelled several times by artillery, scuba divers and ...

Jayne's Intelligence Review - The Royal Manticoran Navy (Honor Harrington)

Ad Astra Games, 2006

The Honorverse reference!
The first of a serie of books that promise to be full of interesting data for all the fans of David Weber and his Honorverse. This book begins the description of the Royal Manticoran Navy and its ships, weapons, ranks, uniforms... A fantastic product. I'm now waiting eagerly for the second book in the serie depicting the People's Navy which should be released really soon: "Jayne's Intelligence ...
