Great series. I like all of the books.
Honor Harrington
- Thread starter Lindley
- Start date
I just checked itunes, they are there. Expensive though over $20 US per book.
I got lucky, went to a used book store and found one of the later books in hardback. It came with all the previous books in electronic format on a CD inside the back cover. (amazing that it was still there considering it was a used book). At the time I had only previously purchased "On Basilisk Station". Saved me a ton of money and storage space.
You might try Baen's website, they may have the older books up for free in ebook format.
Edit: Go here, they seem to have a couple of the Honor books as free downloads:

That might annoy my voices...
that reminds me.....
3 of the four voices in my head.... tell me to be nice to people...
Despite the "Mary Sue" moniker, I think Honor has several flaws to compliment her "Practically-Perfect-In-Every-Way" characterization.
Mostly they're internal flaws of self-image, self-confidence, rage, & vengeance.
Numerous times, the woman has been within a hair's breadth of becoming unhinged or crossing the line into doing something she'll never completely come back from. I keep hoping one day we'll see her slip.
The repercussions would be fascinating.

So what do all the "Mary Sue" believers like about the series?
Or is that the only real sore spot for a lot of people?
Not trying to be argumentative, I just hear the Mary Sue and the lengthy unedited prose of Weber comments the most. What's keeping you all interested? or are you saying you're no longer interested after a certain point.
The only aspects that have ever turned me off are some of the political scenes, but even those have provided a background of context for the best scenes to have the right emotional resonance.
My favorite parts have always centered around Grayson and her relationship with her adopted homeworld.

Path of the Fury. That's the one about the Drop Commando bonded to her ship right? I loved that one. The first Ender's Game I read was a novella version I was shocked when I read the full novel thinking why did it need all the extra stuff added.I think I am no longer interested. The last few Weber books I've bought, be it Honor or her spinoffs or whetever, have just made me give up after a few chapters.
Good grief, he even took an old, tight book, Path of the Fury, and rewrote it to be three times longer!!
Sounds like you may also enjoy the Helfort's War series by Graham Sharp Paul:

Have not read any of those, but his Hammer's Slammers stuff is fun.
