Pour l'honneur de la reine: HONOR HARRINGTON LIVRE 2

by David Weber

Depuis Mission Basilic, le capitaine Honor Harrington a pris du galon. A bord du croiseur l'Intrpide, elle commande l'escadre qui accompagne l'amiral Courvosier en mission diplomatique auprs du gouvernement de Grayson, dans le systme de l'Etoile de Yeltsin. L'enjeu est de taille : devant les vises expansionnistes de Havre, il s'agit de s'allier un systme encore indpendant. Mais peut-tre la Flotte royale manticorienne a-t-elle commis une erreur en la nommant la tte de l'escorte militaire : les Graysoniens, qui n'accordent aucun droit aux femmes, semblent le prendre comme un affront personnel. Et Honor a le sang chaud... Marine de l'espace, combat dans les toiles... la saga d'Honor Harrington est l'quivalent moderne des romans d'aventures maritimes, cycle de space operas d'une haute cohrence technologique.

About the author

David Mark Weber is an American science fiction and fantasy author. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1952.

Many of his stories have military, particularly naval, themes, and fit into the military science fiction genre. He frequently places female leading characters in what have been traditionally male roles.

One of his most popular and enduring characters is Honor Harrington whose alliterated name is an homage to C.S. Forester's character Horatio Hornblower and her last name from a fleet doctor in Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander . Her story, together with the "Honorverse" she inhabits, has been developed through 16 novels and six shared-universe anthologies, as of spring 2013 (other works are in production). In 2008, he donated his archive to the department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University.

Many of his books are available online, either in their entirety as part of the Baen Free Library or, in the case of more recent books, in the form of sample chapters (typically the first 25-33% of the work).
