1. Favorite book and why?
"Short Victorious War" Honor Harrington finds her first love.

2. Least favorite book and why?
"Mutineers' Moon" Had a hard time believing the main character, Colin, would react the way he did. He's too wooden, too perfect and as much as I admired him, he never seemed quite real.

3. Favorite scene in favorite book and why?
Honor's XO is looking for her because the Admiral's holding the launch, as she is located in her lover's quarters, and a hastily called briefing by the Senior Admiral is convening.

4. Favorite character and why?
Honor is the main character, and I like her lots, as well as the XO, Mercedes. Mercedes has know Honor her whole career and helped Honor gain confidence in herself as well as aquire social skills needed to advance to the flag ranks.

5. Which character do you identify most with and why?
Mercedes. She's the one who is always there to help out and always says the right thing at the right time. I wish I could do that, at least part of the time.

6. If you could see a sequel to one of the author's books, which would it be and what would it be about?
I'm waiting for Honor to realize the effect she has on Admiral White Haven, and to see her raise a big family, after she retires. Or maybe White Have will retire and Honor will stay on Active Duty while Daddy raises the children...

7. What do you like about author's writing style?
Goes into a lot of detail about why things happen, both technologically and motivation for the characters.

8. What are your favorite themes of this author?
Honor, Duty, Hope..

9. What could be most improved about this authors books?
Maybe reduce the number of side plots? Base a book on one of the major characters POV, other than Honor??

Something about yourself
Only ran into Honor Harrington's books about two years ago and was glad there were so many available now. Love to read SF, especially about military women.
