Representaion As Books On Basilisk Station (Honor Harrington #1)

Honor Harrington in trouble: Having made him look the 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!

Evaluation About Books On Basilisk Station (Honor Harrington #1)

Honestly, the cat makes me WANT to read it.

Supposedly CS Forster set in space, this novel is more Mercedes Lackey. Honor Harrington is the new captain of an old warship. Within a few paragraphs of meeting her we're told she has a psychic connection with her alien cat, is beautiful and looks far younger than her age, graduated top of her class and is oh so much more sensible than any of her commanding officers. From then on, she's the bestest captain ever. All the good characters love and admire her, and all the bad characters hate her

Great charactor interaction, written by someone who understands people skills, man mangement & chain of command in a military setting, it works for sure. Plenty of geek techy stuff as well for yous nerds out there, to the point of glaze forming at times :) i did have to skip a few paras ere n there when the quantom mechanics & warp fueled reactor thinymajigs was a tad full-on but thats jus me & only a minor quibble. There's politics, skullduggery, "other lifeforms", battle scenes

First of all I don't read science fiction. When I was younger it was pretty much all I read but that was 30 years ago. So I'm not this books target audience and the 4 Star rating with more than 16,000 5 Star ratings is pretty much all you need to know about what sci/fi readers think of the book. But I'm not a sci/fi reader and there are a few things I didn't like. One of the challenges for genres like science fiction and high fantasy is the info-dump. In most books you can just say a 'police car

2019 review Reading with the Evolution of SF group here:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...It's been 5 years since I last read this & I didn't mind the data dumps nearly as much even in audio format. It's a big universe, so complex. The tech is well crafted to its purpose, but that also makes it complex. For instance, the way impeller bands & sidewalls work on ships leads to a lot of interesting tactics that are very reminiscent of the Horatio Hornblower series which dealt with

I feel it necessary to admit a few things before starting this review proper.1. I have watched the Horatio Hornblower movies that were shown on A&E (you know, back when A&E actually could be called Arts and Entertainment as opposed to Tattoo TV). I liked them. (Okay, I really liked LT. Bush {Paul McGann}, but who didn't? The only thing better was The Hanging Gale when all the McGann brothers were working together). I also saw the Peck movie.2. I have only read one Hornblower novel. I

This was my first David Weber novel and my introduction to Honor Harrington. And what a ride it was. The only time I had any thought of boredom was whenever the Marines were discussing and planning. Otherwise, I could hardly put the book down. And the climactic chase was heart pounding in intensity, tragedy and triumph. I will definitely be reading more of this series.
