It seems time has passed too quickly in terms of the podcast, but here we are already talking about Uncompromising Honor, the 14th novel in the main story arc. For those watching where we are relative to what’s left, you know this is technically the last novel in the main series, but that’s only sort of true. Depending on where you look, you’ll see a fifteenth novel called Toll of Honor. Other places list it as a stand-alone novel, or even the first novel in another related story sequence called the Expanded Honorverse. We’ll sort that out as we read it and as time passes, and also perhaps with some amplification from David Weber. The big point is we still have quite a bit of content ahead of us, plus we understand there are even more books coming (!), so stay strapped in.
Uncompromising Honor brings the two (or three, depending on perspective) major and enduring story arcs together, culminating with the Grand Alliance and the Solarian League staring at each other across the battlefield. The story in this book is huge, has plenty of action and emotion, and several surprises.
As those of you who have been with us from the start know, the story we’ve enjoyed isn’t quite what David Weber imagined early on. Even so, as great authors do, he adjusted the plan and brought us a very satisfying (and significantly large) novel to discuss in this episode. If you’ve read it and didn’t bother with the Afterward, please go back and read it. It’s short and full of information directly from David himself. There are nuggets in there that he touched on during his interviews with us, but this is more concise and focused primarily on the changes from his original plan that brought us what we’ve read up to this point.
Your hosts rated Uncompromising Honor with a trifecta of 5s (out of 5), resulting in an overall rating of 5.
We were able to cover (and I think catch up) with feedback we’ve received. As always, thank you all for listening, but special thanks to those who take the time to further participate in the show through your comments and questions.
Next time we’re going to cover To End in Fire, the fourth and final novel in the Crown of Slaves series.
