Book Reviews of Field of Dishonor (Honor Harrington, Bk 4)

Another great Honor Harrington..finished this one in a night.

Read 9/5/98 Recommended by folks on my Babylon 5 list as a heroine I�d like if I liked Bujold�s Cordelia in Shards of Honor. I�m going to stick with Bujold. Like Cordelia, Honor Harrington is not a young woman who is captain of her ship; in fact she is quite elevated in society on two planets as a War Heroine.

(In fact, I think she�s more similar to Richard Sharpe --Bernard Cornwell's hero of the world war between England and France against Napolean-- than Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan.)

This heroine is too perfect; she�s beautiful, very intelligent and a great soldier. She has no flaws, and I find that boring writing. But as I found out when I had nearly completed this book that this is the fourth of five books (so far) about her. And they all have the same embodiment of evil cowardly antagonist.
Bleccch!!!

I've gotten sucked into the series. I give it a 4 because the series is so addicting, though I've found some of the books to be hit or miss.

Strong willed and brilliant space captain Honor Harrington kicks butts and takes names - what's not to like?

#4 in the series and again I was impressed by the continuing excellence of the writing and vision of this author.

David Weber has kept this series imaginative and fun! I love Honor Harrington.
