Product Description

From Booklist

The archetypically villainous People's Republic of Haven is seeking to divert attention from domestic difficulties by the means indicated in the title. Honor Harrington, commanding a crack ship, plays a steadily increasing and finally decisive role in bringing the Havenite plots to a sticky end. One hopes the third (after On Basilisk Station [1993] and The Honor of the Queen [1993]) is not the last of Weber's tales of Honor Harrington, captain in the navy of the Manticoran Star Kingdom. These yarns rather make one think of Star Wars as it might have been written by C. S. Forester, creator of Horatio Hornblower. They do not pretend to be more than fast-paced entertainment, and Weber's creative ingenuity has guaranteed that they are that very nicely. Roland Green --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Ingram

Banking on a short, victorious war to replenish their depleted treasury, the ruling class of the People's Republic of Haven do not count on coming up against Captain Honor Harrington and the Royal Manticoran Navy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Honor can be fun, Sep 7 2003
Par David W. Nicholas (Montrose, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: SHORT VICTORIOUS WAR (Hardcover)
This is the third book in the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. It's a concious pastiche of the old Horatio Hornblower stories by C.S. Forester, right up to the initials of the main characters being the same. Honor is a captain the the Royal Manticore Navy, constantly competing with the decrepit but large and aggressive People's Republic of Haven.

In the first two installments of the series, the Havenites tried limited offensives to win planets from the area between the two space nations, but in this book they decide to try for the throat, more or less. The resulting confrontation, with Honor right in the middle, is very suspenseful and interesting. There are characters from previous books, and the plot is fun.

If there's a problem with the book, it's that because this story involves fleet actions, Honor's role in the story is somewhat more limited. It is interesting, however, and the characters are fun too. The author has clearly put a good deal of time into devising the space combat tactics of the age, and thinking things over. I would recommend this book.

4.0étoiles sur 5 The Harrington Formulue, Mai 15 2003
Par Clayton A. Blackwell (Fort Polk, LA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: SHORT VICTORIOUS WAR (Hardcover)
Ah, the Honor Harrington Series. I picked up the first book in this series just because I was a big David Weber fan. Anyway, this book follows the same Harrington formulue. The book really starts off slow, so slow you often wonder if you'll ever finish it but around mid way things start to pick up and around the end of the book you have a hard time putting it down.

If I had to fault this book (and all the Harrington books for that matter) it would be in faulting Honor Harrington herself. I hate perfect characters. She can do everything, knows everything, nothing is past her own abilities. Drives me nuts.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. The book is full of interesting politicos but Honor Harringon's flawless nature really drives me nuts.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Horror Harrington triumphs. Again., Déc 18 2002
Par Thorn "thornsilver" (Forest Hills, NY United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: SHORT VICTORIOUS WAR (Hardcover)
You know, as an experienced SF/Fantasy reader, I could live with the overhelming techno and political bubble, but this particular book has some other faults as well. This plot has already been played through in the first two books, and, frankly, it is getting boring. The ultra-large cast of characters does not really add anything, except confusion. Take this one out of the library and save the six bucks.
