This week on #ThrowbackThursday, our poll winner was "ON BASILISK STATION," the first book in the Honor Harrington series by David Weber!
(Pssst... we offer the ebook for free at the Baen Free Library)
Having made him look a 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 aborigines 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 with 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. #DavidWeber #BaenBooks #Honorverse #BaenFreeLibrary
