Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

The fourth Honor Harrington novel is definitely the best in this increasingly popular military-sf series. Honor's old nemesis, Pavel Young, takes revenge on her for having him dismissed from the navy by hiring a duelist to kill her lover. This swiftly brings upon him a dire and vividly described fate, which puts Honor on half-pay on the planet Grayson, where she is a feudal magnate. Honor has always been as much a descendant of the Superperson as of C. S. Forester's very human Horatio Hornblower, but Weber has thought enough about her so that, when the time came to produce a character-driven military-sf novel, he could do so quite handsomely. That time is now, and these are a new Honor and a new Weber. With the war against the People's Republic of Haven clearly destined to last as long as the Napoleonic Wars after which it is modeled, expect to see more of both. Roland Green --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

The People's Republic of Haven's sneak attack on the Kingdom of Manticore has failed. The Peeps are in disarray, their leaders fighting for power in bloody revolution, and the Royal Manticoran Navy stands victorious.

But Manticore has domestic problems of its own, and success can be more treacherous than defeat for Honor Harrington. Now, trapped at the core of a political crisis she never sought, betrayed by an old and vicious enemy she'd thought vanquished forever, she stands alone.

She must fight for justice on a battlefield she never trained for in a private war that offers just two choices: death . . . or a "victory" that can end only in dishonor and the loss of all she loves.

2.0 out of 5 stars Advances the overall plot but pointless taken by itself, Jun 11 2004
By Gordon Wong (Cambridge, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FIELD OF DISHONOR (Mass Market Paperback)
There's nothing inherently wrong with Field of Dishonor, except that its too long. The plot moves along a bit, the characters develop a bit but really, it should have been the middle third of another book. Spend 400 pages on it is just silly. I found myself skimming long parts just to get through it. It feels like the authro wrote it in a couple of months.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical Honor Harrington, Jul 5 2002
By Paul LoveKing (Atlanta GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Field of Dishonor (Paperback)
This one is somewhat lacking in bomb pumped lasers clawing at sidewalls, but it's a great Honor Harrington book. Loyal crew risking their careers more than their lives this time, life and death, and that special Honor something. I wouldn't reccomend it as a good place to start in on the series, but it's a fine second book, unless you are a stickler for reading series in order.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Honor book, Feb 18 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Field Of Dishonor (Special Edition) (Hardcover)
I'm a big Honor Harrington Fan. Despite the somewhat satisfying ending, the long sequences of black depression seem out of character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read, you almost feel sorry for the Bad Guys
Excellent book, great read. Space version of Horatio Hornblower. This book is probably the Darkest of the series and I would say Honor really hits bottom in this book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars a dramatic final showdown
If you have been reading the series up to this point (good idea), this will be a departure from the spaceship combat and naval operations focus we've had so far. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars And now for something totally different...
While the previous three Honor novels are driven by battles and the PRH, Field of Dishonor is planted firmly in Manticore's political arena. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, yet lacking in realism
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. Read more
