Changer of Worlds

Changer of Worlds (2001) is the third anthology in the Worlds of Honor series. This volume contains four stories, three by David Weber and one by Eric Flint. Only the first story is about Honor herself. Ms. Midshipwoman Harrington by David Weber describes Honor's middy cruise with the HMS War Maiden on pirate-chasing duty in Silesia. It proves to be rather more interesting than usual and the Salamander finds herself in the hottest of combat for the first time. Changer of Worlds by David Weber tells what happens one afternoon while Honor babysits the kits for Nimitz and Samantha. From the Highlands by Eric Flint discloses the actual events underlying the Manpower Incident in Chicago on Old Earth. It all starts when somebody kidnaps Anton Zilwicki's daughter Helen. That was their first mistake, but hardly the last. Nightfall by David Weber depicts the last days of the Rob Pierre government and the consequences of making assumptions. These tales fill in some of the backstory and show other points of view within the main story arc. They enrich the universe and allow minor characters in the main story to take center stage. Highly recommended for Honor Harrington fans and anyone else who enjoys science fiction stories about spatial combat, alien societies, special ops or political intrigue. -Arthur W. Jordin

For all you Honor Harrington fans out there, listen up! This is a collection of stories worth reading! Most are written by David Weber, himself. The first story, my personal favorite, is about Honor and her quirky pet treecat before the first book of the series began! It was Honor on her first ship tour as Midshipwoman! This book is a must for all Honor Harrington fans! Not just a bunch of short stories either. Each story is like a small book. Don't expect ten pages per story, expect seventy-five or more! An exciting book that will tame the hunger of fans until Mr. Weber gets the next Honor story out. Highly recommended reading!

To those who haven't read any other Honor Harrington book, this book will give you four small and very different tastes of the Honor universe. You will probably decide that the other 9 novels and 2 short story collections are now on your wish list, but you don't need the history to enjoy these stories - they stand on their own (with the possible exception of Nightfall).Fellow Honor fans, I recommend this - Honor's universe keeps getting bigger and better. This books has four great short stories set in the Honor Harrington universe. I loved this book. I am waiting in eager anticipation for the sequel to Ashes of Victory, but this book is much more than filler in between novels. This collection adds depth to the Honor Harrington universe. The first story shows Honor early in her career, before the war started and before she was in a leadership position. The last story expands on an incident from the latest novel (Ashes of Victory) and shows the enemy from their own point of view. You get to see Honor and her universe from her Treecat's point of view in the second story. The third story by Eric Flint has characters who know of Honor only through news headlines but have her heart and drive.Honor is the main character in only 1 of the stories, but don't let that deter you. Laughs Brightly, Golden Voice, Helen, Anton, Kevin Usher and Esther McQueen were introduced before but now we get to see them in depth and detail. Cathy, Victor, Virginia, Bachfisch, Shelton, and Branch Leaper are new to us and their relationships add spark and more diversity to the universe Honor inhabits. (and possibly foreshadow upcoming events in the next novel?)Write, David, write! Write, Eric, write! (I hope you add another story in the next collection!) These characters show and make us want more of their drive for Honor!

I have read what is available of this book ...and all I have to say is this book looks wonderful. The book is a collection of short stories (three by David Weber and one by Eric Flint, I believe), and they cover both the early career of Honor Harrington and the exploits of several secondary characters mentioned a few books ago. Bravo to Mr. Weber for his wonderful stories. Bravo also to Mr. Flint for his short story (more like novella)! Now I just have to wait for the next book!Thank you!
