On Basilisk Station

On Basilisk Station

David Weber โ€” 1993
This is the first novel in the Honor Harrington series. Honor Harrington is in trouble: having made a Senior Admiral look the 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. This special limited edition includes an excerpt from the next Honor Harrington best seller. The next book in the series is The Honor of the Queen.
