Honor among Men... A Female Military Figure Brings a New Perspective to War...

Cover for At All Costs by David Weber

New York, New York: David Weber, prolific writer of military science fiction, has created a military heroine for the future, a heroine for now: Honor Harrington. This popular and exciting series shines a light on the military problems of today, and is evident in the latest in the series, At All Costs (October paperback.)

Honor Harrington has become one of the most popular characters in this arena, with over three million books in print and nine — of Weber's twelve — New York Times Best Sellers are about Honor. She is quickly becoming an iconic character like Sherlock Holmes or Buck Rogers. The Honor Harrington series now runs to 11 main-line novels, 4 collections and 2 associated novels.

"By creating the Honor Harrington Universe, it enables people to contemplate and discuss present day concerns about culture, war, and ethics," Weber recently stated during a radio interview.

At All Costs deals with a war that was started by the manipulations of one man. Why does Honor Harrington fight a war she knows in her heart is false? Because sometimes you have to fight, even for the wrong reasons.
