And for hundreds of years, the League has borne the banner of human civilization, been the ideal to which humanity aspires in its diaspora across the galaxy.

But the bureaucrats known as the "Mandarins," who rule today's League, are not the men and women who founded it so long ago. They are corrupt, venal, accountable to no one.

Honor Harrington has worn the Star Kingdom's uniform for half a century and served her monarch and her people well. Very few people know war the way Honor Harrington does. Very few have lost as many men and women, as many friends, as much family, as she has. Yet despite that, hers has been a voice of caution.

She knows the Mandarins and the Solarian League Navy are growing increasingly desperate as the truth of their technological inferiority sinks home, but she also knows the sheer size of the League. And she knows how its citizens will react if the Grand Alliance takes the war to the League, attacks its star systems, destroys its infrastructure.

Today's victory, bought on those terms, can only guarantee a future war of revenge against a resurgent Solarian League and its navy. Honor knows the Grand Alliance must find a victory that doesn't require incursions deep into Solarian space, doesn't leave a legacy of bottomless hatred, and the strategy she supports has been working.

Those who love fully drawn characters with everything at stake. And those who love bad guys committing atrocious deeds, only to get what they deserve from the good guys, will sleep contentedly at night because justice has been served. Uncompromising Honor provide[s] a long, luxurious trip. Battles are described in vivid, suspenseful detail. Excellent … plenty of action. Fans of this venerable space opera will rejoice.

David Weber books 3, followers. David Mark Weber is an American science fiction and fantasy author. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio in Many of his stories have military, particularly naval, themes, and fit into the military science fiction genre.

He frequently places female leading characters in what have been traditionally male roles. One of his most popular and enduring characters is Honor Harrington whose alliterated name is an homage to C. Her story, together with the "Honorverse" she inhabits, has been developed through 16 novels and six shared-universe anthologies, as of spring other works are in production.

Search review text. Gillian Wiseman. I have loved this series. The first seven books are superb, and I reread them every few years. Having said that, I could barely read this one. It's too long. It has too many points of view. It was too predictable. And I'm sorry, it was way over the top. Everything about each and every character has become "the best" or "the worst" or "the most ever seen" in any living human ever. I mean, come on And who did NOT expect the "revelation" of a certain character's survival?

I mean, it was so predictable. I knew from the very moment their ship was diverted that the only reason was that there would be massive foreshadowed death, and they would somehow survive by the skins of their teeth.

And then, we only get to read about it in backflash. How about cutting out a hundred pages of descriptions of missile systems, and give us some actual adventure-plot survival story? And the whole idea that the Manties could stand up militarily and handily defeat the Sollies just didn't pass muster for me. Defend themselves, yes. Romp directly into the center of their home system and defeat them with seemingly one arm tied behind their backs?

NOT believable. Sorry, this series passed its prime about books back. The day they turned cruel. The day they overthrew their makers. In a distant star system, a planet-sized computer unleashes its hosts: fleets of warships, armies of robots, and a swarm of killer drones. Their purpose is one: destroy all life. As the cosmos crumbles, one team steps up to the plate: The Alien Hunters.

The Alien Hunters are galactic pest controllers, not an army. Their spaceship is old and clunky. They specialize in crushing the odd space bug, not a fleet of vicious machines.

Ruthless corporations vie over the prize remotely, and war is in full swing. But soldiers recruited to fight in the extremities of deep space come with their own problems: from A. Got trouble with aliens? Call the Alien Hunters. This bundle includes all three novels in this fast-paced, sci-fi adventure. The political makeup and history of the series frequently echoes actual history, particularly that of Europe in the last half of the second millennium.

The series is consciously modeled on the Horatio Hornblower series by C. This 'rethink' and redesign caused Weber to move the series' internal chronology up by about 20 years and begat the Crown of Slaves novel, first in the 'Crown of Slaves' sub-series based on a number of the short stories of the first four collections.

In this scenario, proxies for Manticore and Haven oppose the same hidden enemy, the genetic slavers and powers behind the government and corporations of the planet of Mesa. Mesa is later revealed in Mission of Honor to be part of a secret cabal of about a dozen highly capable planets that are busily building a secret navy using advanced technologies at a secret planet and known to itself as the Mesan Alignment.

The Mesan Alignment's navy has new technology and conducts a sneak attack on Manticore in PD during the twelfth mainline novel, Mission of Honor. The Mesans have a year-old [7] secret program to reinstitute purposeful genetic engineering of humans and break up the Solarian League, while taking down all opponents opposing such genetic engineering.

This makes the staunchly anti-genetic-slavery star nations of Haven, Manticore, and various associates of the planet Beowulf primary targets of the Mesan Alignment. The 'Crown of Slaves' sub-series books and last two mainline Honorverse novels detail the rising extent of this threat.

As the two sub-series progress, albeit with somewhat-separate casts of characters, each is expected by Weber to carry the detailed storyline events particular to their astrographical region forward and tie together into an ongoing plotline concerning the massive and monolithic Solarian League, which foreshadowing in the most recent novels suggests is about to undergo severe disruption.

This book confirms the Solarian League is officially now the new Mesan cat's paw, effectively at war with both the Star Empire of Manticore and the Republic of Haven, as it has been manipulated into error after error by the operatives of the Mesan Alignment. Many of Weber's books are available at the Baen Free Library; chapters of some texts are otherwise available online.

Among a handful of anthologies, the thirteen Honor-centered novels, and two subordinate sub-series starring some different characters, the universe first explored in On Basilisk Station has a diasporal historical background for the backstory storyline, in which mankind, over almost two millennia, migrated to systems beyond the Sol system, first in slower-than-light starships, then by increasingly efficient and effective hyperspace drive-propulsion systems.

Early daughter colonies also spawned colonies, forming regional networks of related populations. With travel limited to slower-than-light speeds, any marginally habitable nearby planet was of interest, and Earth's scientists went through a period in which they regularly genetically modified the human genome for survival positive adaptations to marginal environments, such as heavy gravity, thin atmosphere, thick atmospheres, or toxic environments e.
