Toll of Honor

Honor Harrington, Book 15

De: David Weber

Narrado por: Allyson Johnson

A NEW SOLO NOVEL IN DAVID WEBER'S NYT BEST-SELLING HONORVERSE

“It is our duty to pay for our liberty with our own blood. The freedom that we shall win through our sacrifice and exertions, we shall be able to preserve with our own strength.” —Subhas Chandra Bose

Lieutenant Brandy Bolgeo has come home from the Battle of Hancock station wounded in both body and spirit.

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

She’s come home to find that her wounds, her ship’s brutal damage, the deaths of so many friends, were the fault of an arrogant, aristocratic coward who broke and ran in the face of the enemy. Who left her ship to pay the price for his craven desertion under fire. And whose powerful political allies are determined to protect and preserve him at any price.

Still listening to this, so an interim review.

Davis, I like your narrator, a good choice with so many voices at her command. However, Ms. Johnson needs you to send her to Ireland for a few months to improve her Irish accent. Just a suggestion. So thanks to both of you.

If it were a TV series, these two episodes would be called fillers.

Reminds me of last year's newspaper comment section. Half of the stuff you remember so you don't need additional info and/or new points of view, half you just don't care about after so long.

Was worried at the start and Happy and sad at the end

I was pretty worried when it started and it seemed like it was a lift from Field of Dishonor. but then he wrapped up sitting the time and place and we moved on. Every time Harkness came into the picture I started laughing and may have almost swerved off the road once. I look forward to learning more about the other characters during these critical times.

main story line was confusing

confusing start made the main story line hard to follow until half way through the book

I was not expecting to re-mourn characters!

I do wish I had realized before I was in the middle that this was not ONLY a story alongside events from other books, but that actually we'd get a lot of content directly about and from the point of view of important loved characters who dangit died in the main series a very long time ago. Ow. (no, it's good, but I was surprised how many feelings I apparently still have about them ~20 years on.)

A great revisit!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I actually enjoyed it more than field of Dishonor. You got to revisit that book from different points of view and you got to see how it was distressing for those that were peripheral to the central story. Thank you Mr. Weber for another enjoyable story.

Great Story

Expands and celebrates characters we enjoy and care about. An excellent addition to the Honorverse.

need more

always entertaining, in depth world building. looking forward to more Honorverse. The narrator was engaging and clear. great read all in all.

New views of an old story

I like the author’s afterward. He wanted to revisit some characters killed off in later books, and to add some detail. I enjoyed it. There were a few fresh battles and new stirring speeches, both Webber fortes. AJ’s voice has aged a bit but it was great to hear here excellent narration with these characters again. I will buy the others in this expanded series when they come out.

Not a new story, and elaborating of old events

First I want to say I have no respect for calling this book fifteen. That was a calculated deception, and it certainly hurt weber's credibility in my eyes.
This should've been another series without implication that it was going to further the current timeline.
The book has all the usual style and storytelling.That weber is known for. plenty of his repetitive bomb pumped laser commentary.
A good elaboration on events that were taking place outside of honors primary storyline.
And though the authors commentary at the end and his sentimentality for characters, we've all loved and lost at the end of uncompromising honor is poignant.... I and many others want to know what the hell happens next.
There are still questions unanswered, and the manticor empire goes on into the next generation.... That's a story I would like to hear.
