Honorverse Today is a fan podcast providing review, commentary, and opinion for the Honor Harrington and Honorverse book series written by David Weber and published by Baen Books. The Honor Harrington series is one of the largest and most successful science fiction series in history. Yet it has never had a podcast. Until now.

HVT-018 At All Costs

Honorverse Today ·

2024/02/04

We’re back in the “main series” to discuss the eleventh novel, “At All Costs”. While this is the eleventh of fourteen novels here, we’re only about halfway through all the Honorverse content. So, if you’re enjoying the podcast don’t worry, there’s lots more to come!The timeframe of this novel has us overlapping some of the events we saw in “The Shadow of Saganami.” Again, this is in no way a rehash of events. What David Weber is doing here (and in the next novel we’ll read) is to provide an

2024/01/07

We’ve already put out toes in the water of the Wages of Sin series (more commonly known as the Crown of Slaves series), and we’ll return to it soon enough. In this episode we discuss the first book in the Saganami Island series, entitled “The Shadow of Saganami”.Events in this novel overlap with and complement, to some extent, events we read about in “Service of the Sword”, “War of Honor” and “Crown of Slaves”. Don’t worry though, there is zero redundancy. What David Weber is doing is giving us

HVT-016 Crown of Slaves (Wages of Sin #1)

Honorverse Today ·

2023/12/03

With this series and novel, our adventure shifts away from the story featuring Honor Harrington as the main character or even seeing her as the focal point. Even so, she’s not gone and appears in the periphery quite often. Remember, this “related” storyline doesn’t mean we’re shifting away from the “main” storyline. As you’ll see, we are not. The Wages of Sin series, and this first novel in it, are absolutely a part of the core narrative that is The Honorverse. We’ve seen the stories in this series

HVT-015 The Service of the Sword

Honorverse Today ·

2023/11/05

Here we are, already discussing the fourth Honorverse anthology entitled The Service of the Sword. This collection of six short stories written by six authors was originally published in April 2003 by Baen. While we’ll call them “short” stories, two of them are novella-length (or arguably longer), so if you haven’t read this collection yet, be aware that a couple of these stories are lengthy. The book is long, and since we’re talking about six stories, this summary is longer than usual too.The first

2023/10/01

Here we are, already discussing the tenth novel in the Honor Harrington main series: War of Honor, and if you’re counting the overall number of books we’ve covered in the Honorverse, this would be the thirteenth. For those who read this in the past, you may remember what the rest of us new readers discovered: we thought the previous novel was lengthy at 672 pages; this one buries that one and comes in at a substantial 869 pages! For story continuity, the events in this novel occur approximately

(Be sure to listen all the way through the closing credits. There may be a small surprise...)Time is flying as we work our way through the Honorverse! Here we are on the third anthology in the Worlds of Honor set: Changer of Worlds. It was first published in January 2001, comes in at 469 pages and contains four short stories. As with the previous anthology, the title is apt, given these stories capture key people and events at various times that truly changed the worlds we’ve grown to know and

HVT-012 First Interview with David Weber

Honorverse Today ·

2023/08/06

At the end of the last episode, we told you our next episode would be to discuss the anthology “Changer of Worlds”. Well surprise! What you’re about to hear is our interview with the man himself: Mr. David Weber. We had a list of questions of our own as well as some that several of you have submitted. In the interest of respecting David’s time, we paired the list down and took the opportunity to ask him about several things.The conversation was fantastic. We were blown away by two things.

HVT-011 Ashes of Victory

Honorverse Today ·

2023/07/02

In this episode we discussed the ninth novel in the Honor Harrington main series: Ashes of Victory. It’s the direct follow-on to Echoes of Honor. And if you keep listening through the end credits you might find a bit of extra “Oops!”At 672 pages (the trade paperback edition), it’s slightly shorter than Echoes of Honor, but not by much and with no complaints from your hosts about the length. The story is large, requiring equally substantial books to capture all that’s going on, and it picks up

HVT-010 Worlds of Honor

Honorverse Today ·

2023/06/04

This episode, we find ourselves reading and discussing the second anthology. This one is entitled Worlds of Honor. It was published in 1999 and contains five stories. Aptly named, these stories are as much tied to Honor’s worlds, as to the characters we read about. Through the pens of several authors, we travel to Sphynx, Manticore, Gryphon, and Sylvestria.First comes the story The Stray, written by Linda Evans. Linda brings us to Sphynx for the second bonding between a human and treecat: that

HVT-009 Echoes of Honor

Honorverse Today ·

2023/05/07

After our jaunt over to the first anthology in the Worlds of Honor set, we’re back to the main series and discussing book 8: Echoes of Honor. This seemed like two books that were woven together through the way this novel was assembled. At 718 pages, this is the largest novel yet in the series, and was published by Baen Books in September 1998—a year after In Enemy Hands. The events in this book occur just short of a year (approximately 10 months) after Honor and her colleagues destroy the Tepes

Here we are, with the first seven novels in the main Honor Harrington series already behind us and taking our first detour to read More Than Honor, the first anthology in the Honorverse. As a reminder, we’re doing this based on a volume of recommendations and with the understanding that this anthology was published between the seventh and eighth novels on purpose. You’ll notice our podcast format for the episodes that cover anthologies is slightly different. We’ll discuss/review each story or part

DEAR LISTENER: There were technical issues with portions of the recording quality. We considered re-recording the episode, but we would never be able to re-create the spontaneity that we got on this show. We hope the quality of the content will make up for the quality of the recording. The issues have been fixed and should not happen again. =====We’re officially halfway through the original set of Honor Harrington stories already! How did we get here so quickly?

Book 6 is the topic of our discussion today as we continue our journey through the Honorverse!“Honor Among Enemies” is a robust 544 pages, published by Baen Books in June 1996. In some ways we return to some of the events that happened in “On Basilisk Station”, specifically Honor’s actions against an enemy Q-ship. What’s a Q-ship, you ask? Well, if you want to know more, this is your episode! The purpose and use of Q-ships in combat abounds in this novel.Two things come into play at the same time in

Today our discussion turns to book 5 in the Honorverse. Let’s continue our journey!“Flag in Exile” is 443 pages, published by Baen Books in September 1995. I’m not sure it’s quite accurate to say Honor takes a break after her duel with Pavel Young. Our hero is forced into retirement from the Royal Manticoran Navy due to the political fallout and consequences of lawfully killing Young. Honor takes the opportunity to move to Grayson (sort of an exile) to fully establish and settle into her

Here we are, kicking off the discussion of the fourth book in the Honor Harrington main series. Let’s continue our journey into the Honorverse!“Field of Dishonor” is 416 pages of pure military adventure. It was published by Baen Books in late 1994. Events in this book take place shortly after the events in the previous novel. This book is reportedly the only one in the original 14-book series that doesn’t contain any combat in space. Don’t be discouraged though; the story is full and

Welcome to the third book in the Honor Harrington main series. Let’s continue our journey into the Honorverse!“The Short Victorious War” is 376 pages of pure military adventure. It was published by Baen Books in 1994. The events in this story take place approximately a year after the events that occurred in “The Honor of the Queen”. Of note, the title of the book is a historical reference to the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905. The quote the title originated with Russia’s Minister of the Interior

Our amazing journey through the Honorverse begins now! The first book in the series is titled “On Basilisk Station”. Published in 1993 by Baen Books, it ran 458 pages and leads a series that David Weber originally thought might only be five books or so. For those not familiar, it grew into a 14-book series, with a number of related, spin-off sets of books. All that aside, “On Basilisk Station” is where the adventure begins. For a time reference, this story takes place sometime in the 41st
