HVT-038 To End in Fire

Honorverse Today ·

2025/10/05

Here we are, finishing the Crown of Slaves series with the fourth book: To End in Fire, once again co-authored by David Weber and Eric Flint.Consistent with the title, this story arc ends with a lot of fire. For the Babylon 5 fans who are also here with us, we can say there’s lot’s of BOOM. It’s another hefty book, coming in at 704 pages if you read the print version, so there’s definitely room for a lot of fire (or boom), and a lot of action overall. The focus of the story is tied to the continued

What?! A Third Awesome Interview with David Weber!Other than the timing, a third interview was probably not a surprise to any of you since we openly mentioned having Mr. David Weber join us again after the second interview, as well as the interview with Jane Lindskold and David.Most of the questions we asked were directly submitted by all of you, our friends who are with us on this journey through the Honorverse. Several of them were summary / roll-up questions based on common themes that many of

2025/08/03

It seems time has passed too quickly in terms of the podcast, but here we are already talking about Uncompromising Honor, the 14th novel in the main story arc. For those watching where we are relative to what’s left, you know this is technically the last novel in the main series, but that’s only sort of true. Depending on where you look, you’ll see a fifteenth novel called Toll of Honor. Other places list it as a stand-alone novel, or even the first novel in another related story sequence called the

2025/07/06

It’s time for the third novel in the Manticore Ascendant story arc: A Call to Vengeance.Co-written with Timothy Zahn and Thomas Pope and published by Baen in March 2018, this is another of David Weber’s lengthier novels, but with good reason. We’re watching a more mature Travis Long (and colleagues, including Lisa Donnelly) participate in operations of the maturing Royal Manticoran Navy. The Manticoran government continues to struggle with the roles, relationships and funding competition between

The story covers a date range from February 1921 PD through October 1022 PD. For those tracking dates, you’ll realize this is one of those times when David covers events we’ve already seen, but from a different perspective. There’s also some new info in here, too.The major things that happen reflect the continuing exposure of, or

Written by David Weber, Timothy Zahn and Tom Pope, the story of Travis Long continues after he’s completed his training to become a commissioned officer.

Lately there are times it seems we’re getting close to the end of our adventure through the Honorverse and then a little reminder like this happens: we’re discussing the first book in another four-book story arc! In this episode we’re talking about A Call to Duty, kicking off the Manticore Ascendant series. This novel was authored by David Weber, Timothy Zahn and Thomas Pope.You’ll remember a while back we read a story by Timothy Zahn that took place early in the life of the Star Kingdom of

2025/03/02

Now it’s time to dive right into the third book in the Crown of Slaves series: Cauldron of Ghosts, co-authored by David Weber and Eric Flint. It won’t be a surprise to any of our regular listeners, but this book ties to the previous book we covered based on publication order. That said, this is a particularly tight coupling as this book is often considered a literal and direct continuation of the story in Shadow of Freedom.As a result, we’re still seeing events occurring in 1922 PD, now featuring

This time we’re looking at the third book in the Saganami Island part of the Honorverse story arc: Shadow of Freedom.We’re solidly in the year 1922 PD and Admiral Michelle Henke takes care of yet more trouble presented by the Solarian League. This is tied to a scenario set up to make the Star Empire of Manticore look bad in a way that would cost them the trust of independent star systems moving forward. She exercises her command authority in the absence of specific guidance about this unforeseen and

HVT-029 Interview with Jane Lindskold and David Weber

What a surprise! Due to a quick turn of events we’re able to interrupt our regularly scheduled program for a very special treat. Instead of discussing Shadow of Freedom, we were privileged to have Jane Lindskold join us, along with another visit by David Weber. As far as we can tell, there’s no better reason to interrupt the plan than this. This was the first time we’ve had the chance to enjoy Jane’s company, and the last time we were able to spend time with David was back in episode 22. Grab your

We move into the third book in the Star Kingdom series: Treecat Wars, by David Weber and Jane Lindskold. Published by Baen, this 376-page gem first hit the street in September 2013. With the brutal fire season over, Stephanie and her friend Anders are heading off to Manticore after being selected to attend Forestry Service ranger school.

Beginnings is the sixth (and second to last) book in the Worlds of Honor anthology set. It contains five short stories, penned by four talented authors: David Weber, Charles E. Gannon, Timothy Zahn, and Joelle Presby. Each of these stories brings us to interesting and important beginnings for many events that we’ve become familiar with in the Honorverse but have often gone with little or no explanation.This collection of writings comes in at 377 pages and was first published by Baen in June

HVT-026 A Rising Thunder

2024/10/06

“A Rising Thunder” basically picks up where “Mission of Honor” left off, with events that begin in April 1922 PD and span about five months. We’re back in the main sequence, and it seems hard to believe that this novel is the second to the last of the core novels! But we’re not close to being done with the Honorverse content, with lots of material from the related series and anthologies still to cover. And don’t forget the newest Honor Harrington novel “Toll of Honor” is out there to be enjoyed

Published by Baen, it came out at a comfortable 287 pages in October 2012. In the previous Star Kingdom novel, we met an 11-year-old Stephanie Harrington in part 1, then moved forward in Stephanie’s life, approximately 16 months in Part 2. Here in Fire Season, Stephanie is now 14, turning 15 years old.While this is

Well, we’re finally breaking into the Star Kingdom series, starting with the novel entitled A Beautiful Friendship. While they’re closely related to each other, don’t confuse this novel with the short story by the same name contained in the first anthology we discussed a while back (More Than Honor). The short story and this novel were both written by David Weber, with this novel first published in October 2011 by Baen.The first third (or so) of the novel reprises the original 1998 short story.

“In Fire Forged” is the fifth anthology in the Honorverse, containing three short stories and another technical writing. We see the return of two favorite co-authors: Jane Lindskold bringing us the short story “Ruthless” and Timothy Zahn who hits us hard with his short story “An Act of War”. David Weber brings us the third short story entitled “Let’s Dance”, which is really a novella disguised as a short story. Then he brings us home with the technical essay “An Introduction to Modern Starship Armor

Although the timing wasn’t openly discussed, you all knew we had a second interview with David Weber in the works. Well, our calendars finally aligned, and we are excited to drop the second interview with the creator of the Honorverse into the feed.We covered somewhere between 15 and 20 questions, including quite a few listener questions. Even so, it shouldn’t surprise any of you that we still have a list of questions we couldn’t get to this time. If you’ve sent us questions that weren’t addressed

Mission of Honor brings us back to the main series/sequence, as we look at the twelfth novel in that line of the Honorverse story. The events in this ~600-page gem occur between late 1921 through the middle of 1922 PD. Having developed the breadth and depth of some significant events in the overall storyline, David moves away from the technique he’s used across several previous books to layer and unfold important - and different - perspectives of key events.Events continue to spiral in a manner

This is the second of the novels that comprise the Crown of Slaves series or set of books within the Honorverse. As with the others in this set, Eric Flint was David Weber’s co-author. The influence of his writing style and perspectives absolutely help us delve into some of the ugly issues associated with the genetic slavery

Swinging back to the Saganami Island series, in this episode we discuss the second book entitled “Storm from the Shadows”.Similar to the previous novel, this is another of several that cover certain key events in the 1921 PD timeframe, but from a different perspective. This time a lot of what we see is through Admiral Michele Henke’s eyes.We made this point in the podcast and want to re-enforce it here: this isn’t just a repeat of what we the readers already know. Yes, certain key events are covered
