5.0 out of 5 stars I want to read more in this series., 6 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I often find myself approaching with uncertainty the first book of an author I like who has decided to skip genres. Not everyone can do it successfully - things that work 'effortlessly' in one genre sometimes stumble in another. Not here. Weber's Honor Harrington novels are some of the most exceptionally re-readable books I know - and this is another. The overall tone was lighter than I expected, but it didn't take me long to appreciate it: I frequently found myself grinning with pleasure. I do find myself grinning when reading some of his other books but that is a fiercer briefer sort of emotion: partly perhaps because here there is an ironic humour in the basic setup of situation and character. As much as his other books this is a novel of heroism and necessity and the hidden human face of that heroism. Bazell is as much a hero as Honor is, for all the difference of attitude and character between them .It is to Weber's credit that he has moved so far away from his most succesful creation to come up with a character who is in his own right just as strong and just as interesting. It's just as well there are to be more in this series - I really want to read them. I'll have to wait a bit...(Sigh)

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read., 7 Jul 1997
By A Customer
This story takes a break from Weber's usual space novels. His unique style still comes through with flying colors though.

Bahzell is a prince among his people and is sent as a hostage to another kingdom. While there he breaks his hostage bond by saving a young woman and must flee. He takes the woman he saves and sends her to his father for protection. To avoid bringing war and dishonor to his father he crosses into the human lands. While there he gets into many tight spots due to his sense of honor. The god of war takes notice of him and his deeds while his enimes aided by another god try to destroy him.

To find out more you will have to read this book you WILL NOT regret it. :-)
