On Basilisk Station

Having made him look the fool, she's been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin by a superior who hates her. Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station. The aborgines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens. Parliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser and an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system.

But the people out to get her have made one mistake, they've made her mad. This special limited edition includes an excerpt from the next Honor Harrington best seller."@en

  • "Rude début de carrière pour le capitaine de frégate Honor Harrington, de la flotte royale de Manticore (une monarchie parlementaire de planètes confédérées). Ayant humilié un haut gradé, elle se voit chargée, pour sa première affectation, d'assurer seule la police du système lointain de Basilic, avec un vaisseau hors d'âge à demi désarmé et un équipage qui la rend responsable de son exil."
  • "The Basilisk Station was a place to sweep incompetents, fools, and failures under the rug, or to punish officers with enemies in high places. Commander Honor Harrington has enemies, and she's about to make more of them, because the people out to get her have made her mad. Instead of remaining out of sight during her assignment to the forlorn outpost, Commander Harrington, along with her vessel, the Fearless, performs incredible flying maneuvers to stop a foreign takeover of a major space station."
