Worlds of Honor

From Honorverse

Worlds of Honor is the second anthology of stories set in David Weber's Honorverse.

It was first published in 1999 and contains the following stories:

[edit] The Stray

Set shortly after A Beautiful Friendship, this is an early story of human interaction with treecats.

This tale of how Princess Adrienne, the later Queen Adrienne I of Manticore, met her treecat Dianchect (or "Seeker of Dreams"), is another story about human-treecat interaction, exploring the background to the treecats' extraordinary status in Manticoran society.

[edit] Queen's Gambit

by Jane Lindskold

Roger III, King of Manticore, dies in what appears to be a hover-skiing accident. His daughter Elizabeth rises to the throne, and suspects that the death of her father may not have been an accident at all. Meanwhile, a cabal of Manticoran politicians make their moves in an attempt to influence Elizabeth's regency. As all sides make their moves, the new Queen Elizabeth learns a hard lesson about politics and compromise in the process.

[edit] The Hard Way Home

by David Weber

Lieutenant Commander Honor Harrington, executive officer of the cruiser HMS Broadsword, is participating in a series of evaluation exercises of a new type of pinnace when an avalanche strikes a holiday resort on the planet Gryphon, killing hundreds and burying many others under meters of snow. Honor must take command of the rescue operations and save as many people as she and the men and women of Broadsword can.

[edit] Deck Load Strike

by Roland J. Green

The planet Silvestria, located close to a terminus of the Erewhon Wormhole Junction, is home to two low-tech warring nations. The strategic relevance of Silvestria is not lost to the Manticorans and their Havenite enemies. A war by proxy between both Silvestrian nations break out, with the Canmore Republic receiving support from Manticore and Erewhon, and the Kingdom of Chuiban being assisted by Havenite forces.
