Exclusive Interview: “Honor Of The Queen” Author David Weber

 

When people start naming names in the genre of military science fiction, they naturally name Starship Troopers author Robert A. Heinlein, Aliens writer / director James Cameron, Lois McMaster Bujold, author of the The Vorkosigan Saga series.

But they also often mention Honor Harrington, the central character in David Weber’s Honorverse series, which, over the course of 30+ years, has encompassed numerous novels, novellas, and short stories.

The latest of which (sort of) is 1993’s Honor Of The Queen, the second Honorverse novel, which has just been rereleased as a trade paperback as part of Baen Book’s ongoing reissue series.

In the following email interview, Weber looks back on this early adventure for Honor.
