    Next Honor Harrington Book to include CD-ROM!

    I subscribe to the EFF's EFFector mailing list, and there was tidbit on the next Honor Harrington novel -- the hardcover will include with it a CD-ROM containing 20+ novels in .rtf and/or .html format!

    INCLUDING all of the Honor Harrington series published to date.

    WOW!

    Baen books has more info here.

    I've been wondering how to get started on the Honor Harrington series. Now I know!

    Oh now that's cool.

    Just enough motivation to tip the scales in order for me to preorder the hardback, instead of waiting for the softcover

    I agree.. I will have to break down and buy a hardbacked book. Gotta Love a female character that can take names, kick ... and, get the job done. I just wish they would QUIT RIPPING HER APART>>

    I suspect Weber is done with ripping Honor apart. Physically, anyway. If you're a history buff, you might have noticed how closely Honor's story parallels Admiral Nelson's life. Nelson lost an eye and an arm in combat, but I don't think he took any more serious wounds after those. Since Honor also lost an eye and an arm, she probably won't take any more crippling damage.

    Emotionally, however... Well, we'll just have to see how Nelson's extra-marital affair with Lady Hamilton fits into Honor's life. I have a theory it's going to involve a certain RMN Admiral with a disabled wife.

    Except for the bullet that killed him.

    Cool

    To say that I'm impressed by this development would be a total understatement. I've got to have that disk and I work at a bookstore! (Yay!)

    Now, when is the Honor RPG coming out? (Not to mention the movie and comic book.... )

    An Honor movie could be excellent. If done well.
