Honor Among Enemies Honor Harrington Vi by Weber, David Edition , 0 $15.99 For Captain Honor Harrington, it's sometimes hard to know who the enemy really is. Offered a chance to reclaim her career as an officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy, she is given command of a 'squadron' of jury-rigged merchantmen with crew drawn from the dregs of her service, and ordered to somehow stop the pirates who have taken advantage of the Havenite War to plunder the Star Kingdom's commerce. But the pirates are not all they seem – and neither are some of her 'friends'. For Honor has been carefully chosen for her mission – by two implacable and powerful enemies. The way they see it, either she stops the raiders or the raiders kill her – either way, they win. |

Worlds of Weber by Weber, David Edition , 0 $15.99 A mammoth volume (over 250,000 words) of the many facets of one of science fiction’s most popular talents. Here are treecats, starships, dragons, alternate history, self-aware Bolo supertanks, wizards, sailing ships, ironclads—and, of course, Weber’s fantastically popular starship commander, Honor Harrington. For nearly two decades, David Weber has been taking enthralled readers to destinations strange and fantastical, from his best-selling Honor Harrington novels and short stories to the heroic fantasy of Bahzell of the Hrandai, and the shared universe stories set in worlds of his own creation, and those of others, such as Eric Flint’s best-selling Ring of Fire series, the popular Bolo series of Keith Laumer and more. Visit 17th-century Magdeburg for the creation of the United States Navy a hundred and fifty years early, and go with John Paul Jones as he wins the Revolutionary War—For George III. Fight dragons and demons with U.S. Marines in a most unexpected campaign, find out how humans and treecats first met and share Honor Harrington’s very first battle. But once you step into the worlds of Weber, you may not want to go home again. |

Bolo! by Weber, David Edition , 0 $13.99 Controlled by their tireless electronic brains which were programmed to admit no possibility of defeat, the gigantic robot tanks known as Bolos were almost indestructible, and nearly unstoppable. Their artificial intelligences were designed to make them selflessly serve and protect humans throughout the galaxy and made each Bolo the epitome of the knight sans peur et sans reproche, and often far more noble than the humans who gave them their orders. Now, David Weber, New York Times best-selling author of the Honor Harrington series, continues the history of the Bolo, in four short novels, one of them published here for the first time. One Bolo is driven over the edge by the very humans it is pledged to protect. Another Bolo must decide whether or not to disobey when it is given an order that constitutes genocide. A third must hunt one of its own kind whose robot brain is damaged and rescue two children which the deranged Bolo thinks it is protecting from a nonexistent enemy. And more, including as a bonus, David Weber’s own authoritative technical history of the Bolo, all in a volume that will be irresistible both for David Weber’s huge readership and Bolo fans everywhere. |

Echoes Of Honor by Weber, David Edition , 0 $13.99 For eight bloody years, Commodore Honor Harrington has been in the forefront of the battle between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the vastly more powerful People's Republic of Haven. Now Honor has fallen, captured by the Peep Navy, turned over to the forces of State Security, and executed, her death shown on the interstellar network's nightly news. The Manticoran Alliance is determined to avenge her. Yet their military is over-extended and the People's Republic is poised to take the offensive once more. And neither protagonist is aware of events on a distant, isolated, inescapable prison planet called Hell. Honor Harrington is far from dead.

The Honor of the Queen by Weber, David Edition , 0 $13.99 It's hard to give peace a chance when the other side regards war as the necessary prelude to conquest. That's why the Kingdom of Manticore needs allies against the so-called Republic of Haven – and the planet Grayson is strategically placed to make a very good ally indeed. But Her Majesty's Foreign Office overlooked one minor cultural difference when they selected Captain Honor Harrington to carry the flag – on Grayson, women are entirely without rank or rights, and Honor's very presence is an intolerable affront to every male on the planet. Then, without warning, Grayson is attacked by its fraticidal sister planet, and Honor is forced to defend it – for its safety, for her own vindication, and above all for the honor of her Queen. |

War of Honor by Weber, David Edition ILL, 0 $20.99 NO ONE WANTED ANOTHER WARThomas Theisman didn’t. After risking his life and a fresh round of civil war to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety’s reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven’s ancient Constitution, an interstellar war was the last thing he wanted.Baron High Ridge didn’t. The Prime Minister of Manticore was perfectly happy with the war he had. No one was shooting anyone else at the moment, and as long as he could spin out negotiations on the formal treaty of peace, his government could continue to milk all those hostilities only tax measures for their own partisan projects.His Imperial Majesty Gustav didn’t. Now that the fighting between the Star Kingdom and the Havenites had ended, the Andermani Emperor had his own plans for Silesia, and he was confident he could achieve them without a war of his own.Protector Benjamin didn’t. His people had made too deep a commitment to the Manticoran Alliance, in blood as well as treasure, for him to want to risk seeing it all thrown away.And Honor Harrington certainly didn’t. The Salamander had seen the inside of too many furnaces already, knew too much about how much war cost.Unfortunately, what they wanted didn’t matter…. |

A Beautiful Friendship by Weber, David Edition , 1 $22.49 Stephanie Harrington always expected to be a forest ranger on her homeworld of Meyerdahl . . . until her parents relocated to the frontier planet of Sphinx in the far distant Star Kingdom of Manticore. It should have been the perfect new home — a virgin wilderness full of new species of every sort, just waiting to be discovered. But Sphinx is a far more dangerous place than ultra-civilized Meyerdahl, and Stephanie’s explorations come to a sudden halt when her parents lay down the law: no trips into the bush without adult supervision! Yet Stephanie is a young woman determined to make discoveries, and the biggest one of all awaits her: an intelligent alien species. The forest-dwelling treecats are small, cute, smart, and have a pronounced taste for celery. And they are also very, very deadly when they or their friends are threatened . . . as Stephanie discovers when she comes face-to-face with Sphinx’s most lethal predator after a hang-gliding accident. But her discoveries are only beginning, for the treecats are also telepathic and able to bond with certain humans, and Stephanie’s find — and her first-of-its kind bond with the treecat Climbs Quickly — land both of them in a fresh torrent of danger. Galactic-sized wealth is at stake, and Stephanie and the treecats are squarely in the path of highly-placed enemies determined to make sure the planet Sphinx remains entirely in human hands, even if that means the extermination of another thinking species. Unfortunately for those enemies, the treecats have saved Stephanie Harrington’s life. She owes them . . . and Stephanie is a young woman who stands by her friends. Which means things are about to get very interesting on Sphinx.About A Beautiful Friendship: “It’s rare to find teen science fiction that strays beyond popular dystopian fare.

At All Costs (Honor Harrington Series #11) $0.09 What price victory? The war with the Republic of Haven has resumed . . . disastrously for the Star Kingdom of Manticore. Admiral Lady Dame Honor Harrington, Steadholder and Duchess Harrington, the single victorious Allied commander of the opening phase of the new war, has been recalled from the Sidemore System to command Eighth Fleet. Everyone knows Eighth Fleet is the Alliance’s primary offensive command, which makes it the natural assignment for the woman the media calls “the Salamander.” But what most of the public DOESN’T know is that not only are the Star Kingdom and its Allies badly outnumbered by the Republic’s new fleet, but that the odds are going to get steadily worse. Eighth Fleet’s job is to somehow prevent those odds from crushing the Alliance before the Star Kingdom can regain its strategic balance. It’s a job which won’t be done cheaply. Honor Harrington must meet her formidable responsibilities with inferior forces even as she copes with tumultuous changes in her personal and public life. The alternative to victory is total defeat, yet this time the COST of victory will be agonizingly high. |

Eighth Fleet’s job is to somehow prevent those odds from crushing the Alliance before the Star Kingdom can regain its strategic balance. It’s a job which won’t be done cheaply. Honor Harrington must meet her formidable responsibilities with inferior forces even as she copes with tumultuous changes in her personal and public life. The alternative to victory is total defeat, yet this time the COST of victory will be agonizingly high. |

Bolo! By David Weber $7.99 Controlled by their tireless electronic brains which were programmed to admit no possibility of defeat, the gigantic robot tanks known as Bolos were almost indestructible, and nearly unstoppable. Their artificial intelligences were designed to make them selflessly serve and protect humans throughout the galaxy and made each Bolo the epitome of the knight <I>sans peur et sans reproche</i>, and often far more noble than the humans who gave them their orders. Now, David Weber, <I>New York Times</i> best-selling author of the Honor Harrington series, continues the history of the Bolo, in four short novels, one of them published here for the first time. One Bolo is driven over the edge by the very humans it is pledged to protect. Another Bolo must decide whether or not to disobey when it is given an order that constitutes genocide. A third must hunt one of its own kind whose robot brain is damaged and rescue two children which the deranged Bolo thinks it is protecting from a nonexistent enemy. And more, including David Weber’s own authoritative technical history of the Bolo, all in a volume that will be irresistible both for David Weber’s huge readership and Bolo fans everywhere. |

Changer of Worlds (Worlds of Honor Series #3) $0.25 WELCOME AGAIN TO THE MANY WORLDS OF HONOR Lady Dame Honor Harrington — starship captain, admiral, Steadholder, and Duchess — has spent decades defending the Star Kingdom of Manticore against all comers. Along the way, she has become the legend known as “the Salamander” from her habit of always being where the fire is hottest…and also a national bestseller (Ashes of Victory: #7, The Wall Street Journal). But it’s a big universe, and Honor’s actions affect a lot of lives, not all of them human. And their actions affect her — a lesson “Ms. Midshipwoman Harrington” learns years before rising to command rank, when a desperate battle against “pirates” who aren’t quite what they seem begins her brilliant career. Closer to home, in “Changer of Worlds,” a secret that the alien treecats have kept from their human friends for hundreds of years is about to come out…and completely change the relationship between the two species forever. Meanwhile, Eric Flint weighs in with “From the Highlands.” Honor can’t be everywhere, so when the People’s Republic of Haven tries to stage a political assassination on Earth, Anton Zilwicki — husband of one of the Star Kingdom’s most revered military martyrs, and father of a young woman who is clearly a chip off the old block — steps into the breach…and takes the opportunity to settle some old scores along the way. And finally, Esther McQueen and Oscar Saint-Just square off for their final confrontation in Noveau Paris in “Nightfall.” |

Crown of Slaves (Disciples of Honor Series #1) $0.75 Beginning a new blockbuster series set in the “Honorverse”-the universe of Honor Harrington. The Star Kingdom’s ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Add to that the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon’s stellar back yard, a problem which High Ridge also ignores. Finally, the recent assassination of the Solarian League’s most prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing danger of political instability in the Solarian League – which is also close to Erewhon. In desperation, Queen Elizabeth tries to defuse the situation by sending a private mission to Erewhon led by Captain Zilwicki, accompanied by one of her nieces. When they arrive on Erewhon, however, Manticore’s most capable agent and one of its princesses find themselves in a mess. Not only do they encounter one of the Republic of Haven’s most capable agents – Victor Cachat – but they also discover that the Solarian League’s military delegation seems up to its neck in skullduggery. And, just to put the icing on the cake, the radical freed slave organization, the Audubon Ballroom, is also on the scene – led by its most notorious killer, Jeremy X. |
