A very good series... have read all 10 more than once http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Your best bet for finding them would be eith er a place like Borders Books (have often seen them there), or a small specialty bookshop that carries a lot of sci-fi.

I'd definitely recommend this series to any who haven't read it.

Yah it's not free though...

Hey question why would someone make an entire series that they wrote available Online for free? WOuldn't that cost them a LOT of money? or are those illegal because if they are illegal I definately won't download em.

They are not all available Online - only On Basilisk Station and Honor of the Queen. They are available on the publishers site, {here}. The other books there are not part of the HH series, although Changer of Worlds is one of the anthologies of short stories in the HH universe.

However, it is true that if you buy War of Honor in hardcover, it comes with a CD containing the entire series in electronic format.


As a side note, Shadows of Saganami is not the next book in the HH series.. It's set in the HH universe, but it's not a direct continuation from War of Honor.

No one's mentioned the "other" place for books--your friendly neighborhood library! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Depends on who's distributing them. If you're getting it Online from the Book Distributor or an authorized site, then you're fine. If you're getting it from a fan site run by a 10 year-old taiwanese boy, then you might want to think twice.

eBooks haven't really 'broken out' yet (in popularity), so the hit (if there is one) to the pocketbooks of Baen &/or Weber has been minor. If anything, making the books available Online for free helps to attract new readers who might get hooked by reading a few chapters, and then go out and buy the printed Version themselves.

I've got the entire HH run myself, and can't wait for the sequal to War of Honor to come out (whenever that may be).

Do you have a webscriptions account? Generally, only the first two books are available in the free library, the belisarous(sp?) series being an accidental exception at three.

And let me take this moment to say, go read Digital Knight. Modern Fantasy with a twist of lemon and a slice of reality. Then, buy the webscription Version, so he'll make more of that series.

I heard a rumour (just a rumour, mind) that the next HH book should be out next summer.

Um I have a link that has all the books and all of them look complete at 33+ chapters each.

I am not going to post the link, though it is a Baen website http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I found it by accident in fact, though if it's illegal I don't wanna get my arse busted http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
