At All Costs (Honor Harrington) – David Weber

Title: At All Costs

Series: Honor Harrington, Book 11

Author: David Weber

Genre: Science Fiction

It seems that Weber decided to stop playing around with these Honor Harrington books. Most of the other books in the series have weighed more towards politics or military action, and even in the more ‘action-oriented’ ones the narrative usually worked towards a primary climatic battle. While this one does work its way towards a climatic battle, the journey along the way is quite literally filled with engagement after engagement.

In the book there are also several less than minor changes which come about in Honor’s life as the narrative progresses. If you have, in any way, enjoyed the previous 10 Harrington novels, this one is definitely for you. Though it might stand decently on it’s own, it definitely is a culmination of the other novels.

Obviously, I greatly enjoyed this book. I would say, though, that while most anyone could pick up this book and enjoy it, those who have read through the rest of the series first will get much greater enjoyment from this than those who have not (so read the others first!).

Worldview: Secular

Age Recommendation: High School age – primarily due to the violence (described in pretty decent detail)
