Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 180
The Five Hundred, the elite families who rule the Terran Federation and control its political power and its wealth, have grown steadily wealthier and more powerful, thanks to the war against the Terran League. War may be hard on the people who get caught in its path, but it's very good for business in the short term, and the Five Hundred own the shipyards that build the Navy's ships. They own virtually all the industry that produces the weapons and material the war consumes so voraciously... and they've made damn sure someone else does the dying.

The correct Science in the book
Revisado: 11-02-24
The correct reflection of Science applied to the fiction military jargon made the book a great draw. I enjoyed all of it

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 682
The Shongairi conquered Earth. In mere minutes, half the human race died, and our cities lay in shattered ruins. But the Shongairi didn't expect the survivors' tenacity. And, crucially, they didn't know that Earth harbored two species of intelligent, tool-using bipeds. One of them, long-lived and lethal, was hiding in the mountains of eastern Europe, the subject of fantasy and legend. When they emerged and made alliance with humankind, the invading aliens didn't stand a chance. Now, a select few blood-drinking immortals are on their way to the Shongairi homeworld.

Accents and intelligence
Revisado: 12-19-21
David Weber and the narrator have produces and outstanding work reflecting the intelligence culture and changes that the War in Out of The Dark introduced us to. How to rebuild and use the resources left behind in an intelligent manner has proven key to the stepping stones into the future. I eagerly wait the next book.

For eight years, Commodore Honor Harrington was in the forefront of the battle between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the powerful People's Republic of Haven. Then she was captured and publicly executed. But Honor is far from dead, what's more, she's going home and taking her people with her.

Echoes of Honor

This complex book brings Honor via trials of combat and survival back to the Manticoran Alliance. The voice and narrative bring together many paths in the books in a smooth flow. The ending is outstanding.

The Church of God Awaiting's triumph over Charis was inevitable. Despite its prosperity, the Charis was a single, small island realm. It boasted less than 2 percent of the total population of Safehold. How could it possibly resist total destruction? The Church had every reason to be confident of a swift, crushing victory, an object lesson to other rebels.

David Weber and started to bring things to A conclusion. The military jargon matched with in grossing storyline. And in the end the high inquisitor met his maker.

For Lt. Commander Colin Maclntyre, it began as a routine training flight over the moon. For Dahak, a self-aware Imperial battleship, it began millennia ago when that powerful artificial intelligence underwent a mutiny in the face of the enemy. The mutiny was never resolved - Dahak was forced to maroon not just the mutineers but the entire crew on prehistoric Earth.

Better voice
Revisado: 06-27-20
I heard the earlier version of this audio book done by someone else. This version comes out scratchy and does not have the feeling in the voice.
Audible can do better.

The mind-numbingly alien Arachnids were an enemy whose like no civilized race had ever confronted. Like some carnivorous cancer, the "Bugs" had overrun planet after planet...and they regarded any competing sentient species as only one more protein source. They couldn't be reasoned with, or even talked to, because no one had the least idea of how to communicate with a telepathic species with no recognizable language...and whose response to any communication attempt was a missile salvo.

Revisado: 02-22-16
A great end to a military sci-fi book. The interplay between the different characters between the different scenes means everything to the book. Worth a second read.

In the end, the only political systems that seem to work are those based on freedom. The Inner World leaders of the Terran Federation seem to have forgotten this simple truth. After fighting the Khanate - with the Fringe Worlds to supply the raw material and the fighting men - the Inner Worlds found it hard to give up the powers they had seized during the war.

A book the draws you in that sales you beyond a shadow of a doubt. A true story of what greed can lead to even the main advance science fiction world.

Ashes of the tyrant
Revisado: 02-20-16
This is quite good here. The only thing lacking was a frame to put it in. Basically you need to read the other books. I still enjoyed it. The interplay of characters was interesting.

The only thing this book lacks spaceis the fact that the one coming after it is not out yet. I look forward to it eagerly.

For centuries, the world of Safehold, last redoubt of the human race, lay under the unchallenged rule of the Church of God Awaiting. The Church permitted nothing new - no new inventions, no new understandings of the world.What no one knew was that the Church was an elaborate fraud - a high-tech system established by a rebel faction of Safehold’s founders, meant to keep humanity hidden from the powerful alien race that had destroyed old Earth.

This one rocks!!!
Revisado: 10-09-15
What made the experience of listening to Like a Mighty Army the most enjoyable?
How do you deeply involve the reader into a book? You describe the war in a way and means to deeply involve the characters in a world the reader can understand and emphasize with. Weber demonstrates his mastery yet again!!!
What did you like best about this story?
The interplay of multiple areas being smoothly played into the plot. You truly understand the effect of intel on the war.
Which scene was your favorite?
The surprise that Army of God got when they tried to invade the fort. Never try to charge a fortified position unless you want to kill a lot of your men. You fight on your terms not theirs.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A war for freedom of a world is still fought on bloody battle at a time.
Any additional comments?
Why have you not turned the rest of David Weber's books into audio books? In Fury Born, the Star Fire series.
