'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.Having made a superior look a fool, Honor Harrington has been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin. David Weber makes his home in South Carolina with his wife and children. Finally, Weber's teaming with Linda Evans produced the bestselling Multiverse series. Weber's collaboration with alternate history master Eric Flint led to the bestselling 1634: The Baltic War, and his planetary adventure novels with military science fiction ace and multiple national best-seller John Ringo includes the blockbusters March to the Stars and We Few. Weber is has also engaged in a steady stream of bestselling collaborations including his Starfire Series with Steve White, which produced the New York Times bestseller The Shiva Option among others. While Weber is best known for his spirited, modern-minded space operas, he is also the creator of the Oath of Swords fantasy series and the Dahak saga, a science fiction and fantasy hybrid. Books in the Honor Harrington and Honoverse series have appeared on fourteen best seller lists, including those of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and USA Today. Forester's Horatio Hornblower and Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander lives on-into the galactic future.

In the hugely-popular Honor Harrington series, the spirit of C.S. With over seven million copies of his books in print and seventeen titles on the New York Times bestseller list, David Weber is the science fiction publishing phenomenon of the new millennium. A perfect mix of military SF and high adventure-if you enjoy your tour, read 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 manoeuvring by top brass in the Manticoran navy has left her light cruiser outfitted with a half-baked experimental weapons system.

The series' kick-off puts a giddy Commander Harrington at the helm of her first serious star-ship, 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 instalment in David Weber's cult hit Honor Harrington series, which has charmed the socks off schoolgirls and sailors alike.
