A fan-made map of the regions in which the "Honorverse" stories are set

The Honorverse refers to the military science fiction book series, its two sub-series, and anthologies created by David Weber and published by Baen Books. They are centred on the space navy career of the principal protagonist Honor Harrington. The books have made the The New York Times Best Seller list.[1][2][3]

Plot

The series follows Honor Harrington, military heroine, during a time of extreme international change and tension. Most of the more than twenty novels and anthology collections cover events between 4000–4022 AD with "PD" (Post-Diaspora) dating beginning with a dispersal to the stars from our sun ("Sol") in 2102 AD. The main series novels are set primarily in a timeline beginning 40 years after Harrington's birth on October 1, 3961 AD (1859 PD), and some short stories flesh out her earlier career. Additional novels and shorter fiction take place up to 350 years earlier, and still-earlier canon history is filled in between narratives and in appendices attached to the main novels and anthologies.

The political makeup and history of the series frequently echoes actual history, particularly that of Europe in the last half of the second millenium. The series is consciously modeled on the Horatio Hornblower series by C.S. Forester, and its main character on Admiral Lord Nelson (like Horatio Hornblower). Weber originally planned Harrington to die, like Nelson, at the peak of her career in the climactic Battle of Manticore in 1920 PD (4020 AD), and intended to continue the series with her children as the main protaganists. ref name="Strm">Foreword to Storm from the Shadows.</ref> However collaborating author Eric Flint intervened asking for the invention of a mutual enemy for both the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Republic of Haven to oppose in a spy and counterspy spin-off sub-series the two contractually agreed to co-write, just as they have contracts to write in Flint's 1632 universe. This "rethink" and redesign cause Weber to move the series' internal chronology up by about 20 years and begat the Crown of Slaves novel, first in the "Crown of Slaves" sub-series based on a number of the short stories of the first four collections. In this scenario, proxies for Manticore and Haven oppose the same hidden enemy, the genetic slavers and powers behind the government and corporations of the planet of Mesa. Mesa is later revealed in Mission of Honor to be part of a secret cabal of about a dozen highly capable planets which are busily building a secret navy using advanced technologies at a secret planet and known to itself as the Mesan Alignment. The Mesan Alignment's navy has new technology and sneak attacks Manticore in 1920 PD during the twelfth mainline novel, Mission of Honor. The Mesan's have a 600-year-old[4] secret program to reinstitute purposeful genetic engineering of humans and break up the Solarian League, while taking down all opponents opposing such genetic engineering. This makes the staunchly anti-genetic-slavery star nations of Haven, Manticore, and various associates of the planet Beowulf primary targets of the Mesan Alignment. The four sub-series books and last two mainline Honorverse novels detail the rising extent of this threat.

As the two sub-series progress, albeit with separate casts of characters, each is expected by Weber to carry the detailed storyline events particular to their astrographical region forward and tie together into an ongoing plotline concerning the massive and monolithic Solarian League, which foreshadowing in the most recent novels suggests is about to undergo several disruption.[4] The thirteenth mainline novel, A Rising Thunder, ties together events in both sub-series and synchronizes the timeline of each sub-series with Honor Harrington's mainline novels. This book confirms the Solarian League is officially now the new Mesan cat's paw effectively at war with the Star Empire, as it has been manipulated into error after error by the operatives of the evil Mesan Alignment.

Publication

Many of Weber's books are available at the Baen Free Library; chapters of some texts are otherwise available online. The first-edition hardcover releases of War of Honor, At All Costs, Torch of Freedom, and Mission of Honor contained a CD with copies of most of Weber's published books at the time, labeled for free redistribution.[5]

Setting

Between a handful of anthologies, the thirteen Honor-centered novels, and two subordinate sub-series starring different characters, the universe first explored in On Basilisk Station has a diasporal historical background for the backstory storyline, in which mankind over almost two millennia migrated to systems beyond the solar system, first in slower-than-light starships, then by increasingly efficient and effective hyperspace drive propulsion systems. Early daughter colonies also spawned colonies, forming regional networks of related populations. With travel limited to slower than light speeds, any marginally habitable nearby planet was of interest, and Earth's scientists went through a period where they regularly genetically modified the human genome for survival positive adaptations to marginal environments, such as heavy gravity, thin atmosphere, thick atmospheres, or toxic environments (e.g. Grayson). Some corporate entities also began breeding for super soldiers and superior intellects, good looks, sexual prowess etc., or mixes of such traits, practices which led to a horrific final war on Old Earth. Long established advanced daughter colonies like Beowulf mounted a variety of rescue missions and initiated a thousand-year effort to clean up the Earth gene pool. For a time the cultural centre moved off the Earth as it took about 500 years for the planetary economy to recover its pre-eminence within its shell of highly populated, highly developed planets. Located in the centre of the spherical Solarian League, Old Chicago eventually re-emerged as the nominal League Capital.

By the Gregorian calendar currently in use, the Honorverse novels are dated after the basis year 2102 A.D.—the Epoch date of the Diaspora's beginning; the 11th–13th mainline novels and all four books in the two sub-series are set in 1919–1921 P.D. (4020–4022 A.D). At that point the series shifts from one antagonist to a different group of murkier and mysterious antagonists 'to be revealed later,' but creating incidents now from stealth. This shadowy enemy is a secret cabal, known to itself as the Mesan Alignment, which has been pursuing a 600-year-old plan to eventually overthrow the Solarian League and reinstate legal genetic engineering on humans.

The FTL hyperspace propulsion system in the stories was only developed about the same time as the Mesan conspiracy began, so that it is around 600 years old at the time period treated in the novels. This technology mix uses the ability to "sail" along a vast network of "gravity waves" on different successively higher hyperbands, each higher band giving a more efficient, but correspondingly more dangerous speed multiplier; the higher bands significantly shortening transit times on a given gravity wave for a given base speed, which is limited by particle densities and radiation shielding as Newtonian speeds increase. Analogous to prevailing winds creating certain favoured trade routes, the relatively static fixed gravity waves form favoured travel paths. A lack of gravity waves in some regions, means they must be plodded across by relatively slower means. These favorite routes and desert crossing points are susceptible to illegitimate exploitation by pirates and commerce raiding warships, both interested in preying on the rich pickings of the interstellar merchant cargoships which carry upwards of 2–7 million metric tonnes of cargo.

Within each hyperband, ships have a local speed limited by particle densities which at high relative speeds become cosmic radiation. Better physical shielding or a better particle shield generator enables faster speeds within the band, on which base speed, multiplied by that band's multiplier, has effect so giving shorter journey times. Merchant ships have immense size and thin walls with virtually no physical shielding, as well as cheaper, relatively weak particle shield generators and hyper-generators. Commercial carriers, like sailing ships and freight trains of Old Earth, trade off journey time by increased size and volume carried, so as to keep shipping costs economical. Military vessels, having no profit motive and already physically shielded, also carry better particle shield generators and can attain much faster interstellar voyage times both within a band, and because their better protections enable them to enter higher hyperbands with higher local particle counts, but higher speed multipliers.

The interaction of gravity effects also manifest in much rarer, generally widely scattered wormholes by which hyperdrive equipped ships can travel virtually instantaneously between the wormhole's end points. In some systems, several of these wormholes are found to be co-located forming an irresistible trading nexus, perhaps because their ends have some mathematical affinity: they occur with entrances relatively close together in very small spatial volumes.

The greatest known aggregation of these co-located "Junctions" or Terminus Loci occur in the Manticore binary star system whose wormholes connect the wormhole junctions to six (later seven) other star systems giving the Manticore system an astrographic position to be coveted, and an immense revenue stream from transit tolls, manufacturing and trade, and a large carrying trade.

They were a mere three wormhole transits away from the Manticore Binary System, but it certainly didn’t feel that way. The Dionigi System was only ninety-six light years from Manticore, but it was connected to the Katharina System, over seven hundred and thirty light-years away, by the Dionigi-Katharina Hyper Bridge. And the Nolan-Katharina Bridge, in turn, was one of the longest ever surveyed, at nine hundred and fifteen light-years. Even allowing for the normal hyper-space leg between Manticore and Dionigi, he could be home in less than two weeks, instead of the eighty days or so it would have taken his warships to get there on a direct voyage.

— The first appearance of a new Wormhole nomenclature, "Hyper Bridges", in A Rising Thunder, chapter 1[6]

The stories include numerous dependent and independent polities and several major star nations including two giant aggregations of many planets, Haven and the Solarian League. Protagonist Honor Harrington is a citizen of the Star Kingdom of Manticore which is, during the first 20 or so works of the series, the key rival and the main stellar protagonist against the star conquering (People's) Republic of Haven. The first books deal with a universe of escalating tensions and military incidents until war breaks out in the third novel and lasts until the formal peace in A Rising Thunder, the thirteenth mainline novel. Each star nation suffers horrendous losses in the eleventh, At All Costs, during the Battle of Manticore when Haven makes an all out bid to conquer the Star Kingdom. In the first anthology Eric Flint and Weber wrote stories that birthed the first sub-series thereafter revealed in other shorts, in Crown of Slaves and Torch of Freedom. The sub-series introduced some far more dangerous adversaries, the interstellar corporate gangsters of Mesa. This group was then revealed to be part of the even more dangerous and hidden secret adversaries of the shadowy Mesan Alignment. The Alignment included corrupted Solarian Core worlds promoting the destruction of the old order. Mesan puppet masters are revealed to be pulling the strings of corrupt Solarian League bureaucrats and Admirals in both the sub-series and the main series. Enormously ambitious, the Alignment plans the overthrow of the Solarian League, and the complete destruction of the Star Kingdom of Manticore, Haven, Beowulf and all its historic allies. This rather complicated rethink saves Honor Harrington from death in battle (the Battle of Manticore) as originally plotted by Weber, having closely modeled her on the iconic hero of the United Kingdom, Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. This explains the close timelines extant in the most recent three Honorverse novels and all four sub-series novels (each according to Weber in the foreword to Mission of Honor, corresponding to a specific astrographic region, the Manticore-Beowulf-Haven Sector, the Maya (Torch) Sector, and the Meyers (Talbott Quadrant) Sector).

The Manticore binary star system has three inhabited planets and a wormhole junction with more termini than any other known junction; the discovery of another terminus, and the exploration of the system beyond it, is a key component of the first novel of the Shadow of Saganami series connecting to a region, the Talbott Quadrant, of about twenty star nations which petition the kingdom for membership, giving birth to the Star Empire of Manticore in 4021 A.D.. That birth attracts the animus of certain vested interests inside the vast superpower known as the Solarian League.

In the first works, the Star Kingdom's wealth and importance have elicited both envy and avarice among other star nations and groups, such as the Andermani Empire; the Republic of Haven; Mesa and its corporate powers; the Silesian Confederacy; and the Solarian League. Disruptive technological advances have been few in the Honorverse for most of the 500 years leading up to the series; as the series opens, that technological stagnation has led to a similar stagnation in both military strategy and tactics. During the course of the book series, both forms of stagnation (technological and military) are brought to a violent end by developments stemming from the Havenite/Manticoran Wars, which give both Haven and Manticore a substantial technological advantage over the Solarian League by the time of the most recently published books of the series.

Spin-offs

The Honorverse is a tightly plotted highly organized invention, which was designed with a specific overarching storyline. Its storyline has shifted from the original plan to include new enemies, and did not result in the battle death of heroine Honor Harrington, as was planned originally for book twelve. The series' canon is maintained solely by its creator, who acts as editor in the few works in the universe by other collaborating authors.

Like some of the strategy employed by co-author Eric Flint in his 1632 series, the series recently (meaning the last two works in both sub-series and the last few of the mainline series) incorporated a broader viewpoint from more than one central character, many of whom, like in the 1632 series, appeared in other series works as supporting characters. Stories in the Worlds of Honor collections directly lead to events and character stars of the Crown of Slaves (CoS) sub-series, whereas the Shadow of Saganami's star cast and some of the characters of the CoS derive directly in mainline novels. Both contain purposely invented new protagonist characters as well. Weber deliberately has synchronized events in the mainline series with the tellings of local knowledge and vice versa in both sub-series. In other words, the broad front on which he is now telling the overall story is geographically distinct, but synchronized in his timeline: events in one quadrant will affect life and events in the related narratives centred on other main characters.

Short fiction in the series serves as deep backstory or, like the short stories centred directly on Honor Harrington, exposes episodes of her earlier career in much the same way C.S. Forester revealed the not-yet-in-command life of the young Horatio Hornblower. Some of the more important of these tales reveal a greater knowledge of Sphinx's native species, letting the reader in on knowledge not even known to the honorverse occupants. Among these tales are the revealed history of how Treecats and humans first bonded, how the Treecats protected and bonded with the Royal family, and other treecat tales of greater or lesser importance, such as how the treecat society decided to migrate to the stars. Other short stories expose points of view and life problems from places around the larger universe. Some offer insights to life behind enemy lines in the view of its citizens and their experience, or that of a protagonist in the Verge, or in the Solarian League.
