Honor Harrington read order?
I just finished book three of the Honorverse, "The Short, Victorious War." I am really getting into this universe. Is there a recommended read order for this? I see that there are three or four intertwined series and would like to have a fairly coherent read. Thanks!

There's the main line, following Honor. There are some Anthologies, and there are two sub-lines.
But you've a while to go until you hit these. There's a straight order of On Basilisk Station (1993) ISBN 0-671-57793-X The Honor of the Queen (1993) ISBN 0-671-57864-2 The Short Victorious War (1994) ISBN 0-671-87596-5 Field of Dishonor (1994) ISBN 0-671-57820-0 Flag in Exile (1995) ISBN 0-671-31980-9 Honor Among Enemies (1996) ISBN 0-671-87723-2 In Enemy Hands (1997) ISBN 0-671-57770-0 Echoes of Honor (1998) ISBN 0-671-57833-2 Ashes of Victory (2000) ISBN 0-671-57854-5 Then I'd put in the four anthologies, that have back-story, but also some lead-in to the other books. More Than Honor (1998) ISBN 0-671-87857-3 Worlds of Honor (1999) ISBN 0-671-57855-3 Changer of Worlds (2001) ISBN 0-671-31975-2 The Service of the Sword (2003) ISBN 0-7434-3599-0 And then Crown of Slaves (2003) ISBN 0-7434-7148-2 with Eric Flint After that, back to mainline Honor for War of Honor (October 2002) ISBN 0-7434-3545-1 At All Costs (November 2005) ISBN 1-4165-0911-9 and finally The Shadow of Saganami (2004) ISBN 0-7434-8852-0 Storm from the Shadows (2009) ISBN 978-1416591474 Hopefully, by the time you've got through that lot, we'll have Torch for Freedom and Mission of Honor.

You can find the publishing and chronological order. I would go for the publication order (which is almost what pdurrant also sugested).

I mostly agree with what pdurrant suggested, except that I would put the four anthologies last.

You can skip most of the stories in the anthologies without a problem, but I would recommend reading at the very least "From the Highlands" from the Changer of Worlds anthology and "Fanatic" from "The Service of the Sword" before reading Crown of Slaves.

It's just a link to a rather amusing site "Let me Google that for you"

I'm a bit late to the thread but I was rereading the series recently and here's how I sorted it for myself:
[obvious beginning skipped] Honorverse 06: Honor Among Enemies Honorverse 07: In Enemy Hands Honorverse 07a: More Than Honor Honorverse 08: Echoes of Honor Honorverse 08a: Worlds of Honor Honorverse 09: Ashes of Victory Honorverse 09a: Changer of Worlds Honorverse 10: War of Honor Honorverse 10a: The Service of the Sword Wages of Sin 01: Crown of Slaves Saganami 01: Shadow of Saganami Honorverse 11: At All Costs Saganami 02: Storm from the Shadows [upcoming] Wages of Sin 02: Torch for Freedom Honorverse 12: Mission of Honor BTW, I do NOT recommend reading Storm from the Shadows right now if you don't wan't to risk losing your reader. I almost threw mine on the floor in disgust over the damn cliffhanger. The wait to the next book is not going to be easy... |
