5.0 out of 5 stars Honor's Milieu Jan 25 2011

By Arthur W. Jordin - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

In Fire Forged (2011) is the fifth SF anthology in the World of Honor series, following The Service of the Sword. The initial work in this series is More Than Honor.

This work contains four short works by various authors. It includes a novella by the creator.

"Ruthless" by Jane Lindskold is a sequel to "Promised Land" in the previous anthology. A child is kidnapped for political purposes and the queen's brother gets involved.

"An Act of War" by Timothy Zahn is a story of a con artist working a scam in the People's Republic. Honor is involved only at the end.

'"Let's Dance"' by David Weber is about Commander Honor Harrington, captain of the destroyer Hawkwing. She faces a decision that may ruin her career.

"An Introduction to Modern Starship Armor Design" by Andy Presby is a presentation on the history and characteristics of armor protecting spacegoing warships. It includes four appendices.

Like the previous anthologies, this work further illuminates the worlds of Honor Harrington as seen by some of the leading SF authors of today. These stories cover aspects of Honor's milieu that are not covered by the numerous works produced by the creator.

Highly recommended for Weber fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of future societies, space warfare, and interesting people. Read and enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good stories; Too short Feb 16 2011

By NYC Reader - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

As previous reviewers have noted, the stories in this anthology are good. They either continue threads from earlier anthologies, flesh out the career of Harrington or fit well into the style of the series. I found the technical paper to be mere padding and not really additive to my appreciation for this long and rich series of books and stories. What bothers me is the value proposition offered by Baen. The 3 stories plus the technical appendix weigh in at just over 330 pages; without the index it is about three hundred pages. To justify the purchase I think a fourth story is required, as earlier anthologies in this series had.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uneven Honorverse Stories Mar 23 2012

By Toki Mike - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback

The 3d story, "Let's dance" might be the best Honor Harrington short story ever published. Early in her career, she finds information about a pirate and slaver base, and she faces a moral trilemma. If she merely reports the data, hundreds of innocents die. If she attacks and fails, she loses her ship, her crew, and her life. And if she attacks and succeeds, she has disobeyed direct orders, created an interplanetary incident, and loses her career.

The 2d story, "An Act of War" by Timothy Zahn is exciting and is marred only by the reader not being sure he wants the con man to save his life from the Peeps by helping them provoke a third empire into a war against Manticore. The 1st story is pleasant but mediocre.

But Honor Harrington fans should read this book even if they only read "Let's Dance."
