Helpful Score: 1
This is a prequel that talks about the founding of and several key historical events in the Honor Universe.
More Than Honor is a collection of short stories set in David Weber's Honorverse, or the universe of Weber's Honor Harrington series. This book contains three short stories and one essay, none of which are about Harrington herself, but provide lots of background information enhancing the reader's understanding of the Honerverse.
The first story, Weber's A Beautiful Friendship, recounts the first contact between humans and treecats, and how the relationshihp between the two species developed. We learn much from this story about the 'cats and their culture.
David Drake checks in with the next story, A Grand Tour, about Hakyon Nessler, who encounters some disreputable naval officers committing an act of piracy, and how he takes matters into his own hands in dealing with them.
S.M. Stirling delivers the third story, A Whiff of Grapeshot, set on Haven. This story is about Esther McQueen, the head of the military, and the suppression of the Leveller Revolt.
The essay, The Universe of Honor Harrington, is written by Weber himself. Weber gives us a condensed history of the Honorverse, with some added insight into the technology and science of the the Honor Harrington universe, as well as the history and the political landscapes of the star nations within that universe.
If you're looking for an Honor Harrington story, you'll want to skip this book, but if you would like to deepen your understanding of the Honorverse, then More Than Honor is an oustanding read.
The stories are not predictable - which is nice, and has a lot of naval action, martial arts, romance, etc all tied in.
Something to satisfy all tastes.
