It’s always nice to see a good science fiction novel become available for free. Even for a limited time. Today you can get your hands on an e-copy of On Basilisk Station, the first book in David Weber’s Honor Harrington series.
INTRODUCING
HONOR HARRINGTONHaving made him look a fool, she’s been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin by a superior who hates her.
Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship’s humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station.
The aborigines of the system’s only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens.
Parliament isn’t sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called “Republic” of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn’t work to police the entire star system.
But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They’ve made her mad.
You can pick up the book from Amazon or directly from the publisher’s website. As a note, Expanded Universe author Timothy Zahn has recently teamed up with Weber to write a Honor Harrington spinoff trilogy.
