Another terrific collection from the Weberverse

Overall I enjoyed every one of the short stories though my favorite would have to be the last one which holds the same name as the book. Since each story is read by a different person, the experience does differ but my favorites (Khristine Hvam and Allyson Johnson) as always, do a fantastic job. I recommend this book for any that enjoy exploring the Weberverse.

BEST IN HONORVERSE

This is without doubt the BEST book in the Honorverse series. Fantastic all the way....cover to cover!!!!!

Good stories mostly

Most of the stories are good, better than the last compilation. Standouts were the last two.

Series return performer (voice of Honor) mispronounces words as usual. However, the voice narration is very pleasant by all of them.

Honor Harrington Universe Book 13

A bit grim story about Prince Michael, Queen's Elizabeth younger brother,
which contradicts some other facts.
I rate 2.5

This masterpiece is a good recipe for relaxation.
You'll laugh until you cry
on 1 to 5 scale I rate 5.5
