Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
I usually dont like anthologies (probably since I can't spell it) but the World of Honor books are very good, the stories tie into the series very well, and some chars behind the scenes come out into the light. I have been very pleased with the Anthologies and some stories clear up some info from his books.
As others have said, one of my recent hardbacks had a CD with all the Honor books on it, kind of neat if you have a reader so you dont have to sit in front of a comp while reading.
Have fun, receives the Narrew's "Good Read" Award

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
Just bought Cordelia's Honor/Young Miles by Bujold and Drakes 'With the Lightning'. Hope they will quench my thirst for military Sci-Fi as I'm almost done my 2nd read thru the Honor series.

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
Though I never got hooked by the Honor Harrington series, I found the Starfire books by Weber and White (Insurrection, Crusade, In Death Ground, and The Shiva Option) to be great fun. The characters are a bit two-dimensional, but the space battles are great. As someone else said, these books never fail to get me in the mood to play SE4.
BTW, a couple years ago a poster talked about creating a Starfire mod for SE4 - does anyone know if this was ever done?
