This anthology contained three stories and one technological article. I'm afraid the latter made my eyes glaze over. However, the three stories were strong enough that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I am glad I had read The Service of the Sword first as there were two continuations of stories from that anthology.

"Ruthless" by Jane Lindskold continued the story of Michael Winton who is in line for the throne and Judith who escaped from Masada. This one was a page turner and kept me on the edge of my seat.

"An Act of War" by Timothy Zahn was another continuation. This wasn't my favorite of the stories, but I had a sick fascination to see where it was going and if a character was going to end up alive or dead.

"Let's Dance" by David Weber was a long story that featured Honor Harrington from early in her career. I liked seeing some more background for a fictional character I've grown to care about.

"An Introduction to Modern Starship Armor Design" just wasn't my cup of tea.

I would strongly recommend this book to fans of Honor Harrington, provided they had read The Service of the Sword first. For most others, the stories require too much background to truly enjoy them. ( )

i like the honorverse short stories. not long enough for Weber or the other authors to write a lot of boring military technical details or for Weber to expound on why a person does what he does because he is thinking this and man that so gets old and bores me. ( )
