  <description><![CDATA[&quot;Why in Christ's name can the woman <em>never</em> bring a ship back intact?&quot; muses Hamish Alexander at the triumphant return of Honor Harrington in <em>Ashes of Victory</em>, the apparent resurrection of a woman he'd seen executed by the Peeps some two years earlier. Yep, she's back: minus a left arm and an eye, minus a few inches of hair, and more than a little banged up in the process, the indestructible, ever-resilient Honor is back from the dead--and she's got some 400,000 liberated POWs from Hades in tow for good measure.<p> Picking up where <em>Echoes of Honor</em> left off, the ecstatic reunion that begins <em>Ashes</em> proves short-lived as Honor once again lives up to her nickname of &quot;The Salamander,&quot; always ending up where the fire's hottest. In the longest book of this naval space-opera series, David Weber plunges his beloved heroine (now an admiral!) into a thick tangle of political plots, as she takes on a more mature, behind-the-scenes role than in previous books. But don't fret: there's still some good action as HH prevents an assassination attempt and Manticore and its allies test-drive their new weaponry. And quite a few characters get what's coming to them too, including a few who drop like picked-off Peeps. All in all, yet another worthy installment in the series--check out <em>On Basilisk Station</em> first if you're new to HH. <em>--Paul Hughes</em></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Why in Christ's name can the woman <em>never</em> bring a ship back intact?&quot; muses Hamish Alexander at the triumphant return of Honor Harrington in <em>Ashes of Victory</em>, the apparent resurrection of a woman he'd seen executed by the Peeps some two years earlier. Yep, she's back: minus a left arm and an eye, minus a few inches of hair, and more than a little banged up in the process, the indestructible, ever-resilient Honor is back from the dead--and she's got some 400,000 liberated POWs from Hades in tow for good measure.<p> Picking up where <em>Echoes of Honor</em> left off, the ecstatic reunion that begins <em>Ashes</em> proves short-lived as Honor once again lives up to her nickname of &quot;The Salamander,&quot; always ending up where the fire's hottest. In the longest book of this naval space-opera series, David Weber plunges his beloved heroine (now an admiral!) into a thick tangle of political plots, as she takes on a more mature, behind-the-scenes role than in previous books. But don't fret: there's still some good action as HH prevents an assassination attempt and Manticore and its allies test-drive their new weaponry. And quite a few characters get what's coming to them too, including a few who drop like picked-off Peeps. All in all, yet another worthy installment in the series--check out <em>On Basilisk Station</em> first if you're new to HH. <em>--Paul Hughes</em></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Definitely not David Weber's best work.  I've been a fan of the Honor Harrington series, but he spent way too much time explaining the fictional technology of the weapons systems in this one.  At times I felt like I was reading a Jane's military handbook.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Why in Christ's name can the woman <em>never</em> bring a ship back intact?&quot; muses Hamish Alexander at the triumphant return of Honor Harrington in <em>Ashes of Victory</em>, the apparent resurrection of a woman he'd seen executed by the Peeps some two years earlier. Yep, she's back: minus a left arm and an eye, minus a few inches of hair, and more than a little banged up in the process, the indestructible, ever-resilient Honor is back from the dead--and she's got some 400,000 liberated POWs from Hades in tow for good measure.<p> Picking up where <em>Echoes of Honor</em> left off, the ecstatic reunion that begins <em>Ashes</em> proves short-lived as Honor once again lives up to her nickname of &quot;The Salamander,&quot; always ending up where the fire's hottest. In the longest book of this naval space-opera series, David Weber plunges his beloved heroine (now an admiral!) into a thick tangle of political plots, as she takes on a more mature, behind-the-scenes role than in previous books. But don't fret: there's still some good action as HH prevents an assassination attempt and Manticore and its allies test-drive their new weaponry. And quite a few characters get what's coming to them too, including a few who drop like picked-off Peeps.

    <![CDATA[&quot;Why in Christ's name can the woman <em>never</em> bring a ship back intact?&quot; muses Hamish Alexander at the triumphant return of Honor Harrington in <em>Ashes of Victory</em>, the apparent resurrection of a woman he'd seen executed by the Peeps some two years earlier. Yep, she's back: minus a left arm and an eye, minus a few inches of hair, and more than a little banged up in the process, the indestructible, ever-resilient Honor is back from the dead--and she's got some 400,000 liberated POWs from Hades in tow for good measure.<p> Picking up where <em>Echoes of Honor</em> left off, the ecstatic reunion that begins <em>Ashes</em> proves short-lived as Honor once again lives up to her nickname of &quot;The Salamander,&quot; always ending up where the fire's hottest. In the longest book of this naval space-opera series, David Weber plunges his beloved heroine (now an admiral!) into a thick tangle of political plots, as she takes on a more mature, behind-the-scenes role than in previous books. But don't fret: there's still some good action as HH prevents an assassination attempt and Manticore and its allies test-drive their new weaponry. And quite a few characters get what's coming to them too, including a few who drop like picked-off Peeps. All in all, yet another worthy installment in the series--check out <em>On Basilisk Station</em> first if you're new to HH. <em>--Paul Hughes</em></p>]]>
