 honor harrington series #1:
not originally conceived of the first in a series in anything like so long-lasting and wide-ranging as it has proved to be, giving rise to an over-all concept of the ''honorverse'':

main series:

#1: "on basilisk station" (1993) (this novel)
#2: "the honor of the queen" (1993), q.v.
#3: "the short victorious war" (1994), q.v.
#4: "field of dishonor" (1994), q.v.
#5: "flag in exile" (1995), q.v.
#6: "honor among enemies" (1996), q.v.
#7: "in enemy hands" (1997), q.v.
#8: "echoes of honor" (1998), q.v.
#9: "ashes of victory" (2000), q.v.
#10: "war of honor" (2002), q.v.
#11: "at all costs" (2005), q.v.
#12: "mission of honor" (2010), q.v.
#13: "a rising thunder" (2012), q.v.
#14: "uncompromising honor" (2018), q.v.

saganami island series:
starts off set in and around the space naval military academy of that name:
developed into a series for honorverse novels not featuring honor harrington as a central character:

#a: "the shadow of saganami island" (2004), q.v.
#b: "storm from the shadows" (2008), q.v.
#c: "shadow of freedom" (2013), q.v.
#d: "shadow of victory " (2016), q.v.


mixed fiction and nf-within-f by thomas pope, plus art by thomas marrone:
#A: ''house of steel: the honorverse companion'' ed. david weber (2013), q.v.
roughly one-third being the honorverse short novel, ''i will build a house of steel'' by david weber,
and approximately two-thirds being the honorverse companion by thomas pope and david weber


worlds of honor original anthology series started with
"more than honor" ed. david weber (1998), q.v. for series listing, and links.


there is also the ''wages of sin'' tetralogy°
(° at least, so far; may have concluded, if only with eric flint's death (17/7/2022),
as these four books were written in collaboration with him):
#n: "crown of slaves" (2003), q.v.
#o: "torch of freedom" (2009), q.v.
#p: "cauldron of ghosts" (2014), q.v.
#q: ''to end in fire'' (2021), q.v.

 "perfectbound" - pages glued into a spine strip - bound between laminated film-covered boards and distributed without dust-jacket
(i.e. not sewn in signatures which are then collected and glued onto a flexible, usually cloth backing strip that is bound between the covered boards, usually with end-papers, distributed in a paper dust-jacket.)

precedes the clearly emblazoned baen books "first hardcover" which is near-identical - and is likewise perfectbound - possibly a bind-up from a run-on of this first h/cvr printing's signatures, possibly in fact a second printing, though not so indicated.

including the same:

cover art by larry schwinger (portrait of honor harrington somewhat smaller than on the 1999 h/cvr)
cover price $1.99
