( ![]() La comandante Honor Harrington se encuentra por fin al mando de su primera gran nave estelar, el HMS Intrépido, un crucero ligero equipado con armas experimentales, y con la misión de demostrar las teorías del almirante Hemphill en los próximos juegos de guerra. Sin embargo, su habilidad en el primer ejercicio no será suficiente para superar su desventaja en armamento. Ella y su tripulación serán exiliados a la Estación Basilisco, un remoto e insignificante puesto de vigilancia. I liked this one. Decent amount of character development but reads a touch sterotypical for many characters. Mystery a little slow to pan out. The combat scene at the end is probably the highlight. The Mary Sue'ing is strong in this series. But it is still a lovely little space opera. The science bits seems to be glued on to fulfill the 'science' bit of science fiction, but in reality it serves most as wish-fulfilment. Honor is an officer in the Royal Manticoran space forces, and she is being set up to fail on an impossible mission by her peers. She saves the day against impossible odds, and endears herself to everybody she meets - except the evil, evil people whose dastardly plans she foils. Oh - and she is a lot more beautiful than she thinks herself, so there is that as well. Beauty and brain, and becomingly humble about it all. Still, as an occasionally reread, it is a nice and satisfying few hours to spend. Enjoyed again on re-read. Did note that there are some minor visual quirks in this version, common to a lot of older stories hastily formatted in the earlier days of e-books. Mostly just less space than would now be expected between some POV transitions. Nothing too disruptive. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Honor in Trouble: - Having made him look a fool, she's been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin by a superior who hates her. - Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station. - The aborigines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens. - Parliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system. But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They've made her mad. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
