Honor Among Enemies

Honor Harrington, Book 6

De: David Weber

Narrado por: Allyson Johnson

Despite political foes, professional jealousies, and the scandal which drove her into exile, Capt. Honor Harrington has been offered a chance to reclaim her career as an officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy. But there's a catch. She must assume command of a "squadron" of jury-rigged armed merchantmen with crew drawn from the dregs of her service and somehow stop the pirates who have taken advantage of the Havenite War to plunder the Star Kingdom's commerce.

A Note from Author David Weber
There's been some confusion—not to say, um, energetic debate, readers and fans being readers and fans—about the correct pronunciation of "Manticoran." The truth, alas, is that a stitch was dropped. An error occurred. A mistake was made… and it wasn't Audible's fault. It was mine. Before Audible recorded the very first Honor Harrington book, narrator Allyson Johnson and I not only corresponded by e-mail but actually spoke to one another by phone. She wanted to make absolutely certain she had the correct pronunciations for names, places, star nations, etc., and I tried to make certain all of her questions were answered. And so they were. Unfortunately, at some point in the process, I replied to one of her e-mails by telling her that "Man-ti-core-ahn" was pronounced "Man-tik-er-ahn." Exactly how this happened is more than I can say at this point, except to blushingly disclose that the original e-mail remains intact, confirming to all the world that it was, indeed, my fault. I can ascribe it only to a temporary mental hiccup on my part and crave your forgiveness. If, however, you must blame someone for the mix-up, that someone should be me and not Audible, who have done everything they could to get it right.

Love

I'm a huge Honor Harrington fan anyway, but when I was able to listen to the book, it took the experience to a whole new level. The narrator is amazing. She brought the characters to life in away reading a paper back never could. This book is a must get! I definitely recommend it.

Great Series

I didn't read the Honor Harrington series before listening to them. Perhaps because I had no preconceptions I'm not bothered by the narrator's reading. I think she does fine. I'm not sure why people need a list of the order of the books when Audible tells you which book number it is in the title. That being said this series has great characters, well explained technology and interesting story lines. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the books.

Really getting into it now

The series is certainly picking up the paces and becoming a far more interesting. Particularly after book five. Now that the world is laid out in more detail I think I'm going to be pretty happy following the series through.

Go Honor

What made the experience of listening to Honor Among Enemies the most enjoyable?

The story was great. Sound and performance carried it well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Honor, because she works though her problems. And the enlisted petty officers carrying the load.

What about Allyson Johnson’s performance did you like?

I like her performance. Pace and inflection draws you into story time.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Sad about losing some favorite crew.

Great story and fantastic narrator. 10/10

Top quality story with excellent Narration. I
will definition listen to it again! 10/10 now on to book 7.

A great read!

I have real all the books in the Honorverse and hope for a lot more. The performances were perfect as always.

Best book yet in the series!

A return to form for the author! The smaller scale and increased focus on the day to day life on the ship pays off beautifully.

"Hunting"

It's been three years since Honor was put on half pay, but now she is offered a new command.
Instead of feeling grateful, this new assignment can be considered a slap in a face.

But.... it can be good opportunity for pirate hunting , but you never know what you fish out.

Next book is "In Enemy Hands"

Honor Among Enemies

I have enjoyed this series about Honor Harrington and have read them in order for far. Unlike the other reviewers I actually like Allyson Johnson's narration of the series. I like the fact that enemies can act honorably in spite of a war. It was nice that a villain from the first book in the series became man enough to admit he was wrong and apologize to Honor. Can not wait to read the next story in the series.

Heart

Love treecats so more of them please. Soldiers are people too is a great writing pov.
