In Fire Forged by David Weber and Jane Lindskold

In Fire Forged by David Weber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Generally, I don't like shorter fiction (short stories, novellas) as much as longer, but this anthology may be the best I've read since 'The Best of Science Fiction' series in the 70s. The stories are longer than short stories, novellas or longer and of universally good quality.

All the stories are associated with the 'Honorverse', the story world created by David Weber for his beloved spaceship captain, Honor Harrington. The authors are Jane Lindskold, writing 'Ruthless'; Timothy Zahn writing 'An Act of War', and David Weber writing 'Let's Dance'. Ms. Lindskold and Mr. Zahn have co-authored books with David Weber previously.

Finishing up the collection is an interesting and technical examination of military technology by Andy Presby.

Any fan of David Weber will enjoy reading all the stories in this book. They're all very creative and add interesting wrinkles and details about events referred to in the Honorverse, but not explored in depth.
