  • I have read through book 10 twice. I have listened through book 10 once (currently half way through).

    While I love Horatio Hornblower, I love Honor more.

    I do not read science fiction. It’s just not my thing, but when War of Honor was published, Baen published it with a CD of all the prior books bound into the cover. I thought this was a cool thing to do and wanted to support it, so bought the book with no intention of actually reading it.

    Well that plan didn’t work out.

    You’ll discover as you get deeper into the series that even Honor knows she’s literarily related to Hornblower.

    When I was growing up we had a little black mutt named Sootie. Around 8th grade I decided that Sootie should learn to play the piano, so I showed him how to get up on the keyboard. Arm of the couch to the piano bench, to the keyboard.

    This became one of my mother’s favorite parlor tricks when we had company, “play the piano Sootie!” And off he would trot and go run down the keyboard.

    Sometimes when he felt he was not getting the attention he deserved he’d go and play without being told.
