On Basilisk Station -- David Weber, Paperback

Over three decades ago, David Weber introduced the world to Honor Harrington--and Science Ficion has never been the same. Now, journey back to the book that started it all.

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 humilating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station.

The indigenous people of the system's only habiltable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens.

Parliment isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the mechant 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.

The first entry in the landmark Honor Harrington series, with a new author's note by David Weber.
