On Basilisk Station

"One of the best scifi/space books i e ever read. Great story and the math of space travel explainations seem to make sense (you can still ignore it all and love the story though)."

"The first Honor Harrington novel and a free download from Bae Books free library."

"This is really great military sci fi. It’s heavy on the tactics and mechanics so be prepared, but that is part of the reason it’s so enjoyable! "

"Honor's hit bottom -- and there's nowhere to go but up. The best of the epic space battles to the death, Honor's an officer we'd all love to follow.<br/><br/>There's a part of me that feels like On Basilisk Station is the utter best out of the entire Honorverse series, and that may be because I adore when a good universe is set up and worked within. I love the Honorverse, the death rides, the fantastic crews...but On Basilisk Station has it all: Honor overcoming terrible odds, somehow making everything work out by the skin of her teeth. I think it's the purest of the bunch, and I LOVE it.<br/><br/>I'm plowing on with the series. Again. I'd kind of vowed to not re-read this for a while until I'd gotten a few more books off my to-read list, which has reached a length that would take me years to catch up with. But here I am, reading it again, because my father let a tidbit from one of the new books drop. Wish me luck.<br/>"

"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."

"Amazing space battles and tactics. "
