Beginnings David Weber Baen, Jul 2 2013, $25.00 ISBN: 978-1451639032 “By the Book” by Charles E. Gannon. Near Hygeia, Custom Patrol Lieutenant Lee Strong leads a rescue of prisoners held by space pirates. However, upon escorting the rescued to a space station, Lee feels something’s not right so...

Id love to see that happen. If so who would you like to see write and produce it? :)

This collection of short stories (novellas really; 6 stories in around 450 pages) is something of a mixed bag. The first two stories – Promised Land by Jane Lindskold and With One Stone by Timothy Zahn – are moderately good. A Ship Named Francis by John Ringo and Victor Mitchell was dreadful...

Now Weber has become so famous he desperately needs someone to discipline his writing, and ruthlessly edit his work. Or maybe he just needs to not try and put out three or four new books a year. This book (in my ebook edition) is 720 pages and for three quarters of that (two books worth in a...

Is anyone else really struggling with the later HH books? I want to love them, and I'm affording David Weber a hell of a lot more slack than I would any other author... but MOH is just like reading like the minutes of a set of meetings. (200 pages in and, quite literally it has all been in...

I thought this blog post from Weber might amuse readers of his Safehold series. He does specify that it is a 'joke post' but I wonder whether it is an indication of how far the Safehold series might be intended to run. I'm not saying he is seriously intending to merge Safehold with the Fifth...

Just checked out David Weber on Amazon, and the first two Honor Harrington books are coming up as free for Kindle. Not sure if this has been posted about elsewhere on the forums - my apologies if I forgot! But here you go anyway: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ARPJBS0/?tag=brite-21...

4/5 stars. With just four stories in 350+ pages these are more novellas than short stories and very good they are too, except possibly Eric Flint’s contribution, but I’ve never got on that well with the little of Flint’s writing that I’ve read. The three stories from Weber are very good...

Hi, all. Now, it's possible that I'm very, very behind on the times, but just in case I'm not: who else knew there was a comic book series based off of Honor Harrington? I found the first, based on "Basilisk Station", in my local comic book shop. I was quite impressed by flicking through...

available at Baen as an e-book. What to do, what to do! March madness is starting so time will be limited, already reading 2 other books. Easy decision, it is Weber and Flint two of my favorite authors writing about two of my favorite characters, Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachat. I gave...

The most recent book in the Safehold series is out and I just finished it. As the title indicates there is a lot of army action in this book, ship battles are few and far between. A lot of technology discussion which I enjoyed. At least one love story, maybe two although that may be me...

Made me laugh, anyway... Ordering a pizza the David Webber way...

I just had a brief email conversation with Baen (following comments in another thread). I lookied at the pricing of the eBook A Rising Thunder and thought the prices looked wrong and sent this email: Reply came back: To which I responded: Final response from Baen: I have seen strange...

I have no further info. I just bought it so must go now and read it:)

I was thinking recently of some of the comments made about the more recent HH books; there's a lot of comments about the books feeling like they are more (or at least significantly) setting a big scene rather than being a complete story. And I wondered whether Weber hasn't painted himself into a...

I'm surprised I've not seen much (any?) discussion of this here: David's Essays || David Weber Seems pretty definite though I'm not sure of the timescales. Also metion of graphic novels.

This was a fun read. As the title implies you go back in time in these stories. Sometimes far back in time. Two short stories by Weber himself, one giving some history on Honor's parents and one on her childhood. The other stories are by Charles Gannon (I liked this), Timothy Zahn (I...

So I've read the first two Honor Harrington books and really enjoyed them. My local used book store has a bunch of the other ones, but not the third and often not in sequence. My question is, how much does it matter if I read them (somewhat) out of order? I suppose I risk major spoilers; how...

Just saw this on Baen http://www.baenebooks.com/p-1833-house-of-steel.aspx The short novel sounds good, I am less enthused by the kind of details the BuNine section will provide but still, its Weber and there is a short novel so I will probably buy it. :D

See here for some details. I am psyched about this as I have always enjoyed Zahn's books and really cannot get enough of Manticore, its past, present and future. http://www.facebook.com/#!/TimothyZahn
