The major storyline goes like this :
On Basilisk Station
The Honor of the Queen
The Short Victorious War
Field of Dishonor
Flag in Exile
Honor Among Enemies
In Enemy Hands
Echoes of Honor
Ashes of Victory
War of Honor

Other books are short stories in Honorverse.

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll have to print this out the next time I go there.

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

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.

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?
