Overall I enjoyed every one of the short stories though my favorite would have to be the last one which holds the same name as the book. Since each story is read by a different person, the experience does differ but my favorites (Khristine Hvam and Allyson Johnson) as always, do a fantastic job. I recommend this book for any that enjoy exploring the Weberverse.

Another terrific collection from the Weberverse

“PROMISED LAND” by Jane Lindskold
I read this story when it originally came out, and I recall that I liked it, but it was fairly grim. I wasn’t feeling like listening to anything grim this week, so I skipped it. However, it is the story of a girl who is kidnaped and enslaved by Masadans. Queen Elizabeth’s younger brother Michael gets in on the action here.

“WITH ONE STONE” by Timothy Zahn
On the Honerverse time line, this takes place between “On Basilisk Station” and “The Honor of the Queen”. Honor has been given command of a new starship to replace the one destroyed in “On Basilisk Station,” and she and her crew are being sent on anti-piracy duty in Silesian space. However, Honor isn’t the main character in this story. Rafe Cardones is. The story is well written. My rating: 4 stars

“A SHIP NAMED FRANCIS” by John Ringo and Victor Mitchell
This story is short. It is also horrifyingly funny. My Rating: 3.5 stars

“LET’S GO TO PRAGUE” by John Ringo
This is what happens when two hotshot secret agents make their vacation plans while under the influence. It is funny and well written. My rating: 3.5 stars

“FANATIC” by Eric Flint
As I was listening to this today, I kept thinking what a good writer Eric Flint is. I really like this story. It tells the story of Victor Cachat. For those who haven’t read all of the Honor books, Victor is a Havenite spy. But he isn’t working against the Manticorans in this story. He is sent to troubleshoot when an Imp Sec bigwig is murdered. I Really like this story. My rating: 5 stars

“THE SERVICE OF THE SWORD” by David Weber
This story is about Abigail Hearns. We first met her in “Ashes of Victory.” She was the first Grayson woman to enter military service. In this story, she is on her Midshipman’s cruise. The ship she is serving aboard gets into some trouble, and so does she. This story and “Fanatic” are two of my favorites among all the Worlds of Honor anthologies. My rating: 5 stars

I liked every story in this collection.

The John Ringo sections mark a such shift in tone and style that his sections feel like a totally separate universe and I stopped listening a few minutes into "Siberia is a concept."

Good purchase until john Ringo hit.

BEST IN HONORVERSE

Most of the stories are good, better than the last compilation. Standouts were the last two.

Series return performer (voice of Honor) mispronounces words as usual. However, the voice narration is very pleasant by all of them.

Good stories mostly

______________________PROMISED LAND_______________________________
A bit grim story about Prince Michael, Queen's Elizabeth younger brother,
which contradicts some other facts.
I rate 2.5


______________________WITH ONE STONE_______________________________
A little flashback to the time between first and second book,
the story is in category of background sound,
Sometimes you listen to it but you don't have to.


___________________A SHIP NAMED FRANCIS_____________________________
This masterpiece is a good recipe for relaxation.
You'll laugh until you cry
on 1 to 5 scale I rate 5.5


______________________LET’S GO TO PRAGUE_____________________________
You can also find some funny things in this story.
It was written by John Ringo, those who read his books
can make an educated decision whether to read or not.


___________________________FANATIC___________________________________
Victor Cachat a spy of PRH, finally understands that his duty lies not to the
government which changes every 15 minutes, but to the republic itself and it's People.
I rate 5.0

___________________THE SERVICE OF THE SWORD________________________
Written by the master himself
Midshipwoman cruise of the first female Grayson Officer
Midshipwoman Abigail Hearns " Miss Owens" daughter of
Stadtholder Owens one of the most modern "KEYS" of Grayson

The story is about her Midshipman cruise aboard the
Edward Saganami B-class heavy cruiser HMS Gauntlet
under the command of Captain Michael Oversteegen.

BTW Captain Michael Oversteegen is one of my favourite characters.

I rate it 5.0


NEXT BOOK IS "War of Honor"

Ladies and Gentlemen I want to point out that this is a breaking Point for the Universe,
after this book the Universe goes to second Light Speed, and I hope You Payed attention to the previous books.

Two stories are a little stupid but the rest are excellent! Especially like Victor's story.

Good to read other adventures of favorite characters

Not all of the Worlds of Honor books have held, in my opinion, the highest of standards. This one does. It adds some more stories to the already diverse Honorverse - and does it beautifully. All Honorverse fans should read this book - you'll enjoy it!

Honorverse fans rejoice!

One of the better sets of the collection.
All around great performances and every story was entertaining and the "Siberia" story was the funniest I've read/heard in the entire series.

One of the better collections
