Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

Here comes Honor Harrington again, and her entire crew of fans will man the yards to cheer. In her fifth adventure, she is trying to overcome self-doubts about her competence, grief over her lover's murder (despite having splendidly avenged it), and the barriers to a woman's being an effective feudal ruler on the fiercely patriarchal planet of Grayson. She is making headway when a Havenite fleet shows up, bent on the destruction of Grayson, and she must go back into space as an admiral while her enemies resort to open treachery and murder in trying to bring her down. Honor triumphs again, but with a believable amount of difficulty; she is growing into one of the more complex protagonists in military sf. Meanwhile, her fandom will continue to fall in love with Nimitz, the empathic treecat, and admire Weber's sheer ingenuity in so many aspects of creating Honor's universe.

Struggling with her lover's murder and a forced retirement, Captain Honor Harrington assumes the role of Steadholder on the planet Grayson, but a threatening uprising calls her back into duty as head of the Grayson Navy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best pot boilers around, Jan 4 2004
This review is from: FLAG IN EXILE (Hardcover)
Honor Harrington books are a guarantee of fast paced action, page turning prose, and an appealing heroine. The books do not always take the easy way out. The endings are not always as happy as they could be, and the answers are not as easy as you might think. That adds spice to the straight-line plots, which, along with the fine characterization of the heroine (if few others) make these books a "can't miss, can't put down." They are potboilers in the finest sense of the word, the way Raiders of the Lost Ark or Star Wars were. They treat their subject with respect. You'll never be bored with this series--and this is one of the best books in it. Do yourself a favor and read one or two of the early ones first so you can get a flavor for what's happening.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Grayson Tale, Dec 21 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Flag in Exile (Paperback)
Step by step, Honor Harrington moves up in the world. In the last book, Field of Dischonor, Honor finally defeated her nemesis, Pavel Young (Earl North Hollow), once and for all. Also, Denver Summervale, the mass murderer from the first books, finally bites off more than he can chew.

But, alas, though the Queen, Prime Minister, and Naval Brass support Honor privately, politics dictates sending her away to please the opposition in the House of Lords. So, without a command, she goes to Grayson to take an active role in running her steading. Naturally, there are still malcontents like the crazy cleric Marchant and the steadholders Mueller and Burdette who would just love to kill her off and turn back the clock. Then, to top it all off, the Havenites have decided to invade Grayson again. Fortunately, Admiral Matthews and Protector Mayhew decide to give control of their growing fleet to Honor, and the Peeps will never know what hit them...

This is a great book, the culmination of all before. With north Hollow out of the way, Honor now takes on Grayson society and struggles to prove that she is not only a hero in war but in peace as well.

Honor is good as always, but, like in the last novels, I enjoyed even more reading about her friends and colleagues. In the last book it was the Queen and White Haven as well as Henke, McKeon and crew (especially the security chief). Now the spotlight is also on Clinkscales and Major LaFollet as well as the engineers of the Sky Dome Project, Protector Mayhew and High Admiral Matthews, and Reverend Hanks. It is great when Harrington discovers that her flag captain will be none other than former Peep Captain Alfredo Yu (then also finds out her chief of staff is Mercedes Bingham).

All of these characters shine. Mueller, Burdette, and Marchant are just as rotten as Pavel Young ever was, and danger after danger confronts Harrington from the war with Haven to the Sky Dome Project to wrangling with rival steadholders. Of course, Honor will come out on top: it is the journey there that is the most exciting.

So read this book...

4.0 out of 5 stars And some more about Graysons., Jan 10 2003
By Thorn "thornsilver" (Forest Hills, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flag in Exile (Mass Market Paperback)
The Graysonian politics and culture is the main draw of this book. Probably because I am getting very tired of space battles. On the other hand, the degree of melodrama, in some points, is truly frightening.
