New Honorverse tales by Timothy Zahn and Thomas Pope, Jane Lindskold, Jan Kotouč, and Joelle Presby. Plus First Victory, an all-new novella by David Weber!
About David Weber and the Honor Harrington series:
With more than eight million copies of his books in print and 33 titles on the New York Times best seller list, David Weber is a science-fiction powerhouse. In the vastly popular Honor Harrington series, the spirit of C.S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower and Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander live on—into the galactic future. Books in the Honor Harrington and Honorverse series have appeared on 21 best seller lists, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and USA Today. Additional Honorverse collaborations include the spin-off miniseries Manticore Ascendant with New York Times best-selling author Timothy Zahn, and with Eric Flint, Crown of Slaves, Cauldron of Ghosts, and To End in Fire contribute to Weber’s illustrious list of New York Times and international best sellers.
Best known for his spirited, modern-minded space operas, Weber is also the creator of the Oath of Swords fantasy series and the Dahak Saga, a science-fiction and fantasy hybrid. Weber has also engaged in a steady stream of best-selling collaborations: the Starfire series with Steve White; the Empire of Man series with John Ringo; the Multiverse series with Linda Evans and Joelle Presby; and the Ring of Fire series with Eric Flint.

Story
Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

She will need months to regenerate her lost leg, but how long will it take to heal her heart?

Story
Stephanie Harrington had always expected to be a forest ranger on her homeworld of Meyerdahl until her parents relocated to the frontier planet of Sphinx in the far distant Star Kingdom of Manticore. It should have been the perfect new home - a virgin wilderness full of new species of every sort, just waiting to be discovered. But Sphinx is a far more dangerous place than ultra-civilized Meyerdahl, and Stephanie's explorations come to a sudden halt when her parents lay down the law: no trips into the bush without adult supervision!

Story
There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it. Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind. Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough—but then they started shooting at each other, and at the Navy, with nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight.

Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
Stephanie Harrington had always expected to be a forest ranger on her homeworld of Meyerdahl until her parents relocated to the frontier planet of Sphinx in the far distant Star Kingdom of Manticore. It should have been the perfect new home - a virgin wilderness full of new species of every sort, just waiting to be discovered. But Sphinx is a far more dangerous place than ultra-civilized Meyerdahl, and Stephanie's explorations come to a sudden halt when her parents lay down the law: no trips into the bush without adult supervision!

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it. Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind. Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough—but then they started shooting at each other, and at the Navy, with nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight.

Doctor Benjamin Schröder was far from a man of action. In fact, he was a history teacher - chairman of the Castle Rock University history department - and if his life wasn't perfect, it was close. Until, that is the discussion of his star student Elzbietá Abramowski's dissertation on Operation Oz, the Pacific Allies' invasion of Vladivostok, was brutally interrupted. The psychotic episode that turned his entire world upside down struck with absolutely no warning, and it was more terrifying than anything he should have been able to imagine.

Imperial Intelligence couldn't find them, the Imperial Fleet couldn't catch them, and local defenses couldn't stop them. It seemed the planet-wrecking pirates were invincible. But they made a big mistake when they raided ex-commando leader Alicia DeVries' quiet home/work, tortured and murdered her family, and then left her for dead. Alicia decided to turn "pirate" herself, and stole a cutting-edge AI ship from the empire to start her vendetta. Her fellow veterans think she's gone crazy, the Imperial Fleet has shoot-on-sight orders. And, of course, the pirates want her dead, too.

Earth and her colonies are now smoldering ruins, and the few survivors have fled to distant, Earth-like Safehold, to try to rebuild. But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they've built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever.

It seems there is intelligent life elsewhere in the multiverse. Other human intelligent life, with terrifying new weapons and powers of the mind...and wizards who go by the strange title of ''scientist''.

The fiery hatreds of a quarter-century of warfare between the Terran Federation and the Zheeerlikou'valkhannaieeee, the cat-like species humans called the "Orions", have eased at least a little.

Story
No one wanted another war. Thomas Theisman didn't. After risking his life and a fresh round of civil war to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety's reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven's ancient Constitution, an interstellar war was the last thing he wanted. Baron High Ridge didn't. The Prime Minister of Manticore was perfectly happy with the war he had. No one was shooting anyone else at the moment, and as long as he could spin out negotiations on the formal treaty of peace, his government could continue to milk all those "hostilities only" tax measures for their own partisan projects.

Brilliant Anthology
Rating anthologies is always tricky; the stories cannot be equally strong. But a few truly excellent stories can make the entire anthology very much worth reading. This anthology has three very strong stories, and I will unhesitatingly recommend it for those. Detailed notes below.
Traitor, Timothy Zahn & Thomas Pope - 3 stars. This short novella is well enough written, with an interesting plot and good characters. But it feels like the beginning of a novel, not a stand-alone story. It's good as far as it goes, but it's not especially satisfying.
Deception on Gryphon, Jane Lindskold - 2 stars. A relatively slight novelette starring Stephanie Harrington and company. This is a minor mystery story that didn't engage my attention much. The split between the treecats' POV and the humans' POV isn't managed well and the reactions of the humans really doesn't ring true.
The Silesian Command, Jan Kotouč - 4 stars. A solid novella set in Silesia, covering the response to a renegade peep admiral who is attempting to set himself up as an independent warlord. Good plot and decent characterization.
If Wishes were Space Cutters, Joelle Presby - 5 stars. This short novella is a truly excellent character study of a poor head of household on Grayson and his attempts to make a life for himself and help his dependents. The start of the story is a bit opaque and scattered, but once it reaches its stride, the plotting is strong and the characters develop an amazing amount of depth for such a short piece.
First Victory, David Weber - 5 stars. A very strong short novella covering the lives of Alfred and Allison Harrington from their marriage through the birth of Honor Harrington. It's not a kinetic action story, but as a character study, it's brilliant.
Narrator notes: Allyson Johnson does her typical quality work and Khristine Hvam is also very good. But while Eric Summerer has a very nice voice, he does names from languages other than English poorly, which I found distracting.

Okay, but nothing essential to the Honorverse
This anthology contains 5 short stories. I'll review each in order.
Traitor 4/5 stars
A prequel to the Manticore Ascendant series (which is itself a prequel) we get to meet Gustav Anderman in his eccentric prime as he deals with an attempted coup along with learning the background behind Cutler Gensonne. Lots of action but not necessary to read to enjoy the rest of Manticore Ascendant.
Deception On Gryphon 3/5 stars
Stephanie Harrington, Karl and their Treecat friends from the YA spinoff solve a murder. Its well paced but not particularly exciting.
The Silesian Command 4/5 stars
Basically the hunt for the German pocket battleship Graf Spee but set in the Honorverse. Not a lot of action, a little bit of political maneuvering and intrigue. Not bad, although I don't find it believable that StateSec hardliners would sacrifice their lives for a villain who is very clearly setting himself up as a warlord.
If Wishes Were Space Cutters 1/5 stars
The sequel to "Grayson Letters Home". First half is absolutely boring. The final half dealing with a poor Grayson man who takes a job building a new space station but has to deal with an air headed intern is a little interesting. Overall you can pass on this one, Grayson Letters Home was far better (which is saying something).
First Victory 2/5 stars
Honor Harrington's parents have to deal with Allison Harrington's family. If you just must read everything about Honor Harrington I guess read (or listen to) this one as this is the story about when Honor was born. How Alfred and Jacques conspired to get Allison's mother to come visit the Harringtons on Manticore made me very angry.
