(OT) Honor Harrington
 
Okay I've been hearing LOTS AND LOTS of good things about Honor Harrington books but the only problem is, the only book stores where I live you have to order it because they don't keep any of them on the shelves.

Problem is I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START lol so any HH fans please please please give me a complete list of the HH series from book 1 on. PLEASE http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You want War of Honor, the tenth book in the series, because it includes all of the previous books on a CD (at least the hardcover does). You can then read the first nine in HTML format on your computer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Interesting though normally I like actually READING a BOOK in my hands because it is easier on my eyes.

OH and does anyone know who they used as the model for this woman?

www.baen.com, the publishers, should have all or most of them floating around in either the free library or webscriptions, both of which can be downloaded in about five formats, including html and plain text.

I've never read the Honor Harrington series. But that model just reminds me of Susan Ivanova from Babylon 5.

"I would like you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra: Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova recommendations. Ivanova is god. And: If this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out."

Yeah Ivanova always was a turn on lol http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So far I've read chapters One and Two of "On Basilisk Station" and I like it, good writing so far and very much like a Horatio Hornblower style book only in space http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

The order of the books:

- On Basilisk Station
- The Honor of the Queen
- The Short Victorious War
- Field of Dishonor
- Flag in Exile
- Honor Among Enemies
- In Enemy Hands
- Echoes of Honor
- Ashes of Victory
- War of Honor

There are other books with short stories in the same universe, and some sub-series that take place in the same universe with characters other than Honor Harrington, but the "base series" is the one above, with 10 books...
