Series Description[]
The original series, a space opera, SF military series, Honor Harrigton series was just the beginning of creating a full fleshed out world building that spans the galaxy. The following series are listed in approximate internal chronological order.
Honorverse: Star Kingdom series[]
Features Stephanie Harrington who was Honor Harrigton's distant ancestor and the first human to be adopted by a "treecat". A YA series set mostly on Sphinx.
from Book 1:
- Stephanie Harrington absolutely hates being confined inside her family's compound on the pioneer planet of Sphinx, a frontier wilderness world populated by dangerous native animals that could easily tear a human to bits and pieces. Yet Stephanie is a young woman determined to make discoveries—and the biggest discovery of all awaits her: an intelligent alien species.
- Treecats are creatures that resemble a cross between a bobcat and a lemur (but with six legs and much more deadly claws). Not only are they fully sentient, they are also telepathic, and able to bond with certain gifted humans such as the genetically-enhanced Stephanie. But Stephanie's find, and her first-of-its-kind bond with a treecat, brings on a new torrent of danger. An assortment of highly placed enemies with galactic-sized wealth at stake is determined to make sure that the planet of Sphinx remains entirely in human hands—even if this means the extermination of another thinking species.
Manticore Ascendant series[]
This series takes place approximately 10-11 years after the first book in the Star Kingdom series. Features Travis Uriah Long, an enlisted Navy man and later an officer, and is centered on the early Manticoran Navy that has been decimated by the plague that ravaged the star system.
from Book 1:
- Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life . . . the two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately.
- But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.
Honor Harrington series[]
from Book 1: INTRODUCING HONOR HARRINGTON
- Having 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.
Crown of Slaves series[]
Runs congruent to the Honor Harrignton series starting after Ashes of Victory (Honor Harrington Book 9).
from Book 1:
- The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Added to the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar backyard, which High Ridge refuses to deal with, the recent assassination of the Solarian League's most prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing danger of political instability in the Solarian League—which is also close to Erewhon.
- In desperation, Queen Elizabeth tries to defuse the situation by sending a private mission to Erewhon led by Captain Zilwicki, accompanied by one of her nieces. When they arrive on Erewhon, however, Manticore's envoys find themselves in a mess. Not only do they encounter one of the Republic of Haven's most capable agents—Victor Cachat—but they also discover that the Solarian League's military delegation seems up to its neck in skullduggery.
Saganami Island series[]
A sequel to Honor Harrignton series, often listed as books 15-18 of the original series, but it does not feature Honor in any of the four books. It actually starts before the end of the original series, around the book War of Honor (Honor Harrington Book 10) and then runs congruent with it, showing different views of the same events.
from Book 1: STUDENTS OF HONOR . . .
- The Star Kingdom of Manticore is once again at war with the Republic of Haven after a stunning sneak attack. The graduating class from Saganami Island, the Royal Manticoran Navy's academy, are going straight from the classroom to the blazing reality of all-out war.
- Except for the midshipmen assigned to the heavy cruiser HMS Hexapuma, that is. They're being assigned to the Talbott Cluster, an out of the way backwater, far from the battle front. The most they can look forward to is the capture of the occasional pirate cruiser and the boring duty of supporting the Cluster's peaceful integration with the Star Kingdom at the freely expressed will of eighty percent of the Cluster's citizens. With a captain who may have seen too much of war and a station commander who isn't precisely noted for his brilliant and insightful command style, it isn't exactly what the students of Honor Harrington, the "Salamander," expected.
