Changer of Worlds
 WELCOME
AGAIN TO THE
MANY WORLDS OF HONOR
Lady Dame Honor
Harringtonstarship captain, admiral, Steadholder, and Duchesshas
spent decades defending the Star Kingdom of Manticore against all
comers. Along the way, she has become the legend known as the
Salamander from her habit of always being where the fire is hottest .
. . and also a national bestseller (Ashes
of Victory: #7, The Wall Street Journal).
But its a big
universe, and Honors actions affect a lot of lives, not all of them
human. And their actions affect hera
lesson Ms. Midshipwoman Harrington learns years before rising to
command rank when a desperate battle against pirates who arent
quite what they seem begins her brilliant career.
Closer to home, in
Changer of Worlds, a secret that the alien treecats have kept from
their human friends for hundreds of years is about to come out . . . and
completely change the relationship between the two species forever.
Meanwhile, Eric Flint
weighs in with From the Highlands. Honor cant be everywhere, so
when the Peoples Republic of Haven tries to stage a political
assassination on Earth, Anton Zilwickihusband of one of the Star
Kingdoms most revered military martyrs, and father of a young woman
who is clearly a chip off the old blocksteps into the breach . . .
and takes the opportunity to settle some old scores along the way.
And finally, Esther
McQueen and Oscar Saint-Just square off for their final confrontation in
Noveau Paris in Nightfall.
ABOUT THE
AUTHOR AND HOST
Granted, the decade has just
begun, but David Weber shows all signs of being the science fiction
phenomenon of the decade. Weber is often compared to C.S. Forester (the
celebrated creator of Captain Horatio Hornblower), is the recipient of
critical praise worthy of Heinlein or Asimov, and has hordes of
voracious fans clamoring for more and more Weber. Fortunately for them,
Weber keeps steadily producing book after book with first printings that
sell out almost immediately, then go back into printing after printing
after printing. His novels range from epic fantasy (Oath
of Swords, The
War Gods Own) to breathtaking space opera (Path
of the Fury, The
Armageddon Inheritance) to military science fiction with
in-depth characterization (the celebrated and awesomely popular Honor
Harrington novels, the New
York Times bestselling Ashes
of Victory being the latest). Reviewers call Weber
irresistible . .
masterful (Publishers Weekly), highly
entertaining (Booklist), outstanding . . . superb . . . excellent (Wilson
Library Bulletin), remarkable (Kliatt),
the best (Dragon), worth shouting
about (Philadelphia
Weekly Press), great (Locus),
and the best writer around today (FosFax).
Readers call Weber similar things, but mostly they call the Baen offices
several times a week demanding more from their main man. Weber lives in
South Carolina and, in spite of having gotten married a year ago, shows
no sign of slowing down. . . .
