		Hades is a fictional place in the Honorverse.
		Hades is a maximum security prison planet belonging to the People's Republic of Haven.
		Although the air is breathable and the climate is very much like Earth's, the planet is technically uninhabitable because virtually all of the plants and animals native to Hades cannot be eaten by humans.

	Hades - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Hades
		In Greek mythology, the underworld where spirits (shades) went after death, usually depicted as a cavern or pit underneath the Earth, the entrance of which was guarded by the three-headed dog Cerberus.
		Tartarus was the very lowest region of the underworld where the wicked were punished; it was a type of hell.
		Elysium, a paradise for those who found favour with the gods, was placed by later poets in a region of Hades and ruled over by Rhadamanthys, a judge of the dead.

		I think that the range and agility are the primary edges for the Honorverse, versus the toughness and apparent "lethality" of their beams.
		Honorverse weapons are in the high megaton-low gigaton range each, depending on warship size, etc. This is reasonable given the 200MT nuke in Ashes of Victory was considered too weak to be considered a main-line combat weapon and only effective for certain Special Ops-type stuff.
		The Honorverse fleets are faster, but in many respects, unless the FS forces want to get a fight, they'll be able to evade the Honorverse forces under most circumstances.

		This will all depend on how successful the WC governments are at keeping the Honorverse ships well away from their fleets - i.e.
		If, on the other hand, the HH ships can sidestep the fighters and torpedo-bombers and take the fight directly to the carriers, the CVs are screwed, and the rest of the capships ain't far behind.
		Because like as not, their biggest problems are going to come on the ground, where there's only a certain amount of mass a single soldier can hold and a lot of the rules of space battle don't hold.

		He has also continued to further develop the "Honorverse," which no longer revolves around Honor herself, as evidenced in spinoff novels such as Crown of Slaves and The Shadow of Saganami.
		The latest installment of his space opera series is just another example of this excellence and brings to light much more of the goings and happenings of the universe of Honor Harrington.
		However, not only is she still alive, but plans with her senior staff an audacious plan that will win freedom not only for themselves, but for the rest of Hades' imprisoned inhabitants.

		Granted, but most "current" Honorverse cap ships don't have bow or stern walls, so they are vulnerable.
		A single, second long, energy mount (Lazers and Grazers) broadside from a Honorverse DN is capable of shattering a moon (of unspecified size though) so their energy weapons are quite potent.
		If you accelerate at 45 kps^2 for 5 seconds, you move at a speed of 225 kps and are 675 km from the point where you started to accelerate.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Cordelia Ransom
		Cordelia Ransom is a fictional character in David Weber´s Honorverse series of novels.
		Her rhetoric had a distinct resemblance to Communist propaganda, and, as Admiral Thomas Theisman noted, she believed her own propaganda.
		Cordelia Ransom used the capture of Honor Harrington as a propaganda weapon against Manticore and personally took Harrington to her scheduled execution on the planet Hades, but she died during Harrington´s escape when her personal battlecruiser PNS Tepes was destroyed with all hands.

		At the end of In Enemy Hands we left Honor stranded on the prison planet Hades deep in Peep territory, with just a handful of crew and a couple of sub-light shuttles.
		We have already met some of the characters in Eric Flint's short stories "From the Highlands" and "Fanatic" (and, to a lesser extent, in Jane Lindskold's "Promised Land" and David Weber's "The Service of the Sword", demonstrating there is some coordination going on here!).
		It is now ten years later, on Earth, and her widower Anton and 14-year-old daughter Helen are caught up in a rogue Peep plot to assassinate Amos Parnell, due to arrive from the SS prison planet Hades [Echoes of Honor].

		But now Hades has set his sights on one of the plums of literature, Jane Eyre, and he must be stopped.
		These hugely entertaining and clever adventures are the very epitome of space opera, but their emphasis on one officer's contribution tends to give a lopsided view of how a military organization fights.
		In his rousing second Honorverse novel (after 2003's Crown of Slaves, coauthored with Eric Flint), Weber focuses on how each member of a unit contributes to the mission's success through teamwork, discipline and individual initiative.

	Honorverse hull strength - SpaceBattles.com
		It's been my impression that honorverse nukes detonateon contact with the sidewalls, not the hull, and do all their damage through EMP and radiated energy.
		HH ships can continue to fight, even when their hulls are breached at some points.
		If a fusion reactor was still running a Honorverse ship could still fight when blown in half.

		She ran away from the situation—and him—by assuming her squadron command early, which was how the Peeps came to capture her, of course.
		She was not only unprepared to turn her back on that responsibility but literally couldn't force herself to 'abandon' them, whatever she knew she ought to have done.
		So whether she realized it or not, her decision not to inform anyone in the Alliance of what was happening on Hades while she tried to somehow capture or steal enough personnel lift to pull everyone out was a deliberate evasion of something which was too painful for her even to contemplate."

		The new Honor Harrington novel is the longest yet, but justifies its length and complexity by greatly advancing the story of Honor and her universe.
		The fact that Honor does not live and achieve things in a vacuum has always been one of the things I love about this series.
		I have to agree that if you are not already familiar with the Honorverse this is not the best book with which to begin your acquaintance.

		Most of the military types (among whom women abound) on both sides are tough, decent and efficient, while most politicians (including those in uniform) are self-serving numskulls?portraits that most readers will applaud, along with the rest of Weber's rousing novel.
