4.0 out of 5 stars All but one of the stories are top-flight!, 3 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Worlds of Honor (Hardcover)
Weber's Honor Harrington series is a delight even to those of us who don't particularly like military series. The difference is that Weber draws detailed characters on all sides of an issue. His two short stories in this collection continue that tradition, as do his fellow authors. If I had a problem with any of these stories, it was with Green's tale of the Peeps and Manties. The details were overdone and the characterization, the thing I most love about Honor, is found in bits and pieces throughout the book. Still, I would recommend it to anyone wanting more background on Honor's universe. In fact, I would like to see more stories about Stephanie Harrington and Queen Adrienne.

4.0 out of 5 stars One excellent story, three good ones, and One BAD one., 16 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Worlds of Honor (Hardcover)
Worlds of Honor has four wonderful stories and one rather execrable one. My favorite was What Price Dreams? by Weber. The insights into tree-cat culture are fascinating to those interested in the tree-cats. The Stray (Linda Evans), Queen's Gambit (Jane Lindskold), and The Hard Way Home (Weber) are all good reads. The last story, Deck Load Strike (Roland Green) was a real let-down; I think it was bad editing to make it last because it kind of ruins the whole feeling of the book. The story seemed really bare to me. It lacked detail and characterization, and also didn't grab my attention the way the other stories did. However, for me Worlds of Honor was worth the price because the first four stories were very interesting and entertaining. My advice is to read the last story first and then proceed in order. That way, you'll be happy at the end of your read.:)

4.0 out of 5 stars Aces. A great little side-road on a superb series., 8 April 2001
By A Customer
Get the worst bit out of the way: 'Deck Load Strike'. It's a workmanlike military sf short, but adds nothing to the Honor Harrington universe. Next time, Mr Green, start brain before engaging typewriter. Seriously though, this last story only shows up compared to the other entries - it's a three-star in it's own right. As for those others: 'What Price Dreams' is an especial delight - treecat life and social politics, what more could you ask for? - and 'The Stray' and 'The Hard way Home' are almost as good. This book is both an excellent intro to Honors world and a fine read for established fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars 'The Stray' is painful to read!
Everyone else reviewing this book seems to have a problem with the final story 'Deck Load Strike', but the one which sticks out in my mind for sheer appallingness is 'The Stray'... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars the short story "the hard way home" is excellent!
This book has a number of short stories set in the Honor Harrington universe. One of them, by David Weber, is worth buying the book by itself. Read more
