Review: A Rising Thunder by David Weber

A Rising Thunder (Honor Harrington #13) David Weber Baen, 2012 The library was sent a copy of David Weber’s A Rising Thunder via the fine folks at Baker and Taylor and snagged it the second I saw it.

How Firm a Foundation (Safehold Book 5) David Weber MacMillan Audio, 2011 I missed out on reviewing David Weber’s fourth Safehold novel A Mighy Fortress.

Review: Storm from the Shadows by David Weber

Storm from the Shadows David Weber Baen, March 2009 Storm from the Shadows is David Weber’s latest book set in the “Honorverse.”  A fact that is amusing given that the titular character, only has a marginal pressence in this novel.  Indeed the hero’s point of view belongs to Michelle Henke (amongst others) and focuses on [...]
