The first and the best of an incredible series - this introduces Honor Harrington and Nimitz and sets the stage for all that comes after. A great story in and of itself, it serves as a terrific foundation for a truly great series. Rip-roaring space opera, with characters that are wonderfully drawn. The battle scenes are great and very believable. Weber has the unique ability to create strong women characters without emasculating the men around her. Honor makes a wonderful role model for any young woman.
