Over three decades ago, David Weber introduced the world to Honor Harrington--and Science Ficion has never been the same. Now, journey back to the book that started it all. INTRODUCING HONOR HARRINGTON 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 humilating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station. The indigenous people of the system's only habiltable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens. Parliment isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the mechant 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. The first entry in the landmark Honor Harrington series, with a new author's note by David Weber.

On Basilisk Station is the first book in a quite lengthy series of space military novels. Honor Harrington is a young woman whose first command of her own ship results in her banishment to the equivalent posting of the Aleutian islands. There, her superior office, who dislikes Honor, leaves her and her ship as the sole naval presence. Honor shakes everyone in the establishment up by enforcing the rules and regulations. Enemies, political and military, abound. Her own crew doesn't trust her or respect her. The story unfolds how Honor deals with several related crises and a large, very hostile threat.
I like David Weber's stories and this is no exception. I will be reading all of the Honor series. The characters became real people to me, even the bad ones. The space battles are exciting and damages occur to both good and bad sides. The technology is realistic and sufficient explanations are given without overdoing it.
I like that right triumphs. And, it's clear that troubles are not over for Honor or the kingdom she serves.
