![]() ![]() A perfect mix of military SF and high adventure-if you enjoy your tour, re-up with HH2, The Honor of the Queen. But that outpost soon proves to be a powder keg, and it's up to Harrington and the Fearless crew to thwart the aggressive plans of the Haven Republic. The politicians she's offended banish her to a galactic backwater, Basilisk Station. Against all odds (just the way Honor likes it), she still manages a clever coup in tactical war games, a feat that earns her accolades-and enemies. ![]() But her excitement quickly fades-political maneuvering by top brass in the Manticoran navy has left her light cruiser outfitted with a half-baked experimental weapons system. On Basilisk Station is the first book in a truly wonderful space opera series about a space navy set three thousand years in the future and featuring. The series' kickoff puts a giddy Commander Harrington at the helm of her first serious starship, the HMS Fearless. ![]() ![]() Honor-the heroine of this fast-paced, addictive space opera-is a polished, plucky bulldog of a naval officer, part Horatio Hornblower, part Miles Vorkosigan, part Captain Janeway, and with a razor-clawed telepathic cat thrown over her shoulder for good measure. On Basilisk Station (or "HH1" as it's known to the faithful) is the first installment in David Weber's cult hit Honor Harrington series, which has charmed the socks off schoolgirls and sailors alike. ![]()
