Review

Echoes of Honor is the eighth book in David Weber's Honor Harrington Series. As with the other Honor Harrington books, this book deals with personal honor and duty. It also deals with personal responsibility and courage. David Weber has an easy style to read (it even goes quickly for me, who has dyslexia and can't read very fast). His main characters each have personality, and he uses stereotypes sparingly. The space battles are interesting, but do not seem to take advantage of the 3D nature of space. This book lacks the character development that was one of the major themes of the previous Honor Harrington books, but still managed to let the reader care about the characters involved. Overall, a good read by itself, and a very good series of books.

Synopsis   [Spoiler Alert!]

Honor Harrington managed to escape the clutches of the People's Republic State Security, which were going to execute her. Now she is on the Peep's Prison Planet with no ship, limited food, limited manpower, and limited options. The story is of her struggles to find a way off the planet.

A secondary storyline is about the People's Republic slowing and even turning the tide of the war.
