Product Description

Review
"Honor, my favorite space war character, doesn't give up easily when In Enemy Hands. I can't wait for the next".

-- Philadelphia Weekly Press

Product Description
Honor Harrington finds herself on board a battlecruiser bound for a prison planet named "Hell" - and her scheduled execution. Put into solitary confinement, separated from her officers and her treecat, and subjected to systematic humiliation by her gaolors, her future has become bleak and short.

3.0 out of 5 stars In Enemy Hands - more of the same, but not as good, 3 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Honor Harrington: in Enemy Hands (Honor Harrington Series, Vol 7) (Hardcover)
This was my least favorite of the Honor Harrington series. The characters were even more cardboard in depth than previous novels.

Someone else's review said "everyone that is good is good and everyone that is bad is bad". I agree completely.

Now, I like the Harrington series, but maybe more for the combat scenes than I had realized (which were very few in this book).

5.0 out of 5 stars In Enemy Hands, 10 Feb 2004
By A Customer
The Harrington saga continues. Of course, the Peeps are still out to win the war that never ends. The create devious plots that challenge Manticore to the utmost. Ms. Harrington is drafted into service again, though her duties as Steadholder are more than enough for one person to deal with. Because of her extreme experiences, the bond between Honor and Nimitz are even stronger, and Honor is constantly fed the feelings of others. Through this she discovers that Earl Hamish Alexander is strongly attracted to her. This proves too much for Ms. Harrington and she uses the opportunity to take command of her new squadron.

Though all other ships are saved, the one that Ms. Harrington is on is captured and Honor is now "In Enemy Hands". Cordelia Ransom, the Peeps PR person, plays this for all it's worth. But keeping Honor and her friends captured might not be as easy as Ransom thinks.

I've enjoyed all of the Harrington books thus far, and this is no exception.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, 8 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Honor Harrington: in Enemy Hands (Honor Harrington Series, Vol 7) (Hardcover)
A good read if you are already into the series, but not the book to sell you on the series.

The parallels between this series and the Hornblower series are deliberate, although Honor leans more toward the main character of Perils of Pauline than H. Hornblower. But Honor is as tough as sharkskin and as cagey as a Sackett when it comes to taking punishment and maneuvering her opponents into acts that will ruin their day.

David Weber has clearly used the conflicts between England and France in the 18th and 19th centuries as the outline for this series. But that's all right! He does it quite well and the series is internally consistent. Mr. Weber is doing us a great service in continuing this series. We can do no less than buy his books to reward him.
