On Basilisk Station
by David Weber

HONOR HARRINGTON

Having made him look a fool, she's been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin by a superior who hates her.

Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station.

The aborigines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens.

Parliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system.

But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They've made her mad.

A must read for Naval, Sci-fi, or just plain strong female character fans! Of course it smacks of "Horatio Hornblower in space" but if you get beyond that it stands on it's own with lots of great details. Especially for those of us who actually are in the space industry the great descriptions of problems with light speed communications and telemetry in combat really sold me. Plus David even managed to come up with a plausible reason for ships to need broadsides in 3d Combat!

The first book in the Honorverse and a great read. Weber has yet to write something that isn't great :D

Amazing book, amazing author. I read this book in a moment of boredom and haven't regretted it since. If you're a sci fi fan, this is your book. The rest of the series is just as great.

This, the first, reads like an amalgam of 'Doc' Smith, Heinlein, and Forester. Fantastic storytelling, character development, and plotting. One can occasionally be swamped by the technical data and blinded by the political infighting but that doesnt detract. Read them all! And thanks Baen for the free library (I have, actually, bought all the Honor books). I've just got At All Costs and I'm using the free library to look for some other series'. Mike

This book just blew me away. I picked this book up after reading some reviews and seeing a special introductory version at the bookstore. The main character is one of the most likeable and honorable characters I've ever read about. The supporting characters are beyond compare and everytime someone dies or gets hurt its like a personal hit. If you avoid books because of female protagonists, don't avoid this one, its awesome and I highly reccomend it.

I really enjoyed reading the book, although I previously avoided military SF. The only part I partly skiped was the tactical description of the space battles...

The start of a great series. People who don't enjoy this book must not like female heroes. The only parts I didn't care for were technical stuff, so I skimmed those.

I picked up this book randomly at the local B&N. In an instant I was hooked and wanted more of the Honorverse.
