SF REVIEWS.NET: On Basilisk Station / David Weber On Basilisk Station introduces Honor Harrington as she assumes command of the Royal Manticoran Navy's light cruiser HMS Fearless. What's worse, Basilisk is currently under the command of Captain Pavel Young, a sexist asshole who's gotten where he is by pure nepotism, and who once tried to sexually assault her while they were at the academy together. There is as much political discord in Manticore as there is on Capitol Hill today, but things are more or less in check at the time Basilisk opens, as the Centrists and Crown Loyalists are in power, staving off the extremes of both liberals and conservatives. www.sfreviews.net /onbasilisk.html

SF > reviews > David Weber > On Basilisk Station: summary (spoilers) Basilisk Station is commanded by Lord Pavel Young, an old enemy of Honor's from the time at the Academy when he had tried to rape her, and she had beaten him to a pulp in return. So she is posted to Basilisk Station, a remote, unimportant outpost, as 'punishment' --- and the crew are very unhappy about it. But because Honor has been parolling Basilisk properly, she realises what is going on, and manages to stop the invasion. www-users.cs.york.ac.uk /~susan/sf/books/w/weber1.htm

E-Maculation - Mac Emulation The initial alpha release of Basilisk II (for the Linux platform) was made on January 23, 1999 by Christian Bauer, who previously developed Frodo, a popular Commodore 64 emulator, Shapeshifter, an (obsolete) Macintosh emulator for the Amiga, and Basilisk I, a (obsolete) Macintosh emulator for BeOS and Linux. Basilisk II is generally recommended to people learning about Macintosh emulation. Windows users have gained access to some new features via Gwenolé Beauchesne's "JIT Basilisk II," which is "an attempt to add a dynamically recompiling 680x0 cpu core to the original Basilisk II." This version of the emulator, which Beauchesne has ported to Windows offers users a considerable speed improvement. www.emaculation.com /basilisk.php

On Basilisk Station - Honor Harrington 1 by David Weber Detailed Book Review She and her crew are "exiled" to Basilisk station for having the unfortunate luck to be required to demonstrate an absurd new warfare technology. As captain of a light cruiser (Fearless) she is sent to Basilisk Station as punishment for embarassing an admiral, (She blew said admiral's ship away in a wargame scenario) and finds herself in conflict with a disillusioned crew and an old enemy from her past. At Basilisk, Honor shakes things up when her old rivel dumps the responsiblities of Basilisk on her and she decides to actually enforce the written regulations. www.allscifi.com /Topics/Info_1704.asp

TWD -- David Weber: The Honor Harrington Series This is both better written and a more complex story than ON BASILISK STATION, and begins a long, careful process of developing Honor from a simple "textbook naval officer" into a more complex and interesting personality. After a disastrous performance in Fleet wargames, Commander Honor Harrington and her ship, the light cruiser HMS Fearless, have been exiled to the remote picket-station called Basilisk Station in the Medusa star system. It's three years after the events of ON BASILISK STATION, and relations between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the People's Republic of Haven are getting steadily worse. my.erinet.com /~jwoolf/weber.html

On Basilisk Station by David Weber - Chapter 20 - Baen Books For that matter, she was almost certain he hadn’t been personally involved in any of the illegal activities of his cartel in Basilisk. For reasons of your own, you have seen fit to harass my interests in Basilisk. But his overweening pride and arrogance had been able to see the consequences of her actions only as a personal attack, and he had descended to the lowest and most contemptible of tactics simply to divert embarrassment from himself and punish her for daring to do her duty. www.baen.com /chapters/basilisk_20.htm

Xianworldview.com On Basilisk Station begins the story of Honor Harrington, whose tale can be traced through ten books at the present time. However, even in On Basilisk Station duty and responsibility are high moral obligations in the story. When she arrives, her whole crew is sulking and her immediate superior decides to hand her total responsibility for a situation that calls for five ships, while she only has one. www.xianworldview.com /bookview/review_page.taf?_function=show&book_id=21

On Basilisk Station On Basilisk Station is an out and out space opera, chock-full of technology, political intrigue, and non-stop action that brings the adventures of the high seas to space. She struggles to execute her orders and when she succeeds, albeit only once, she is exiled to Basilisk Station, the navy’s dumping ground for incompetents and blacklisted officers. In addition, the second largest government, the Peoples Republic of Haven, is in expansionist mode with their eye on Manticore and Basilisk Station is their first stop. kaskara.iwarp.com /Review/onBasilisk.htm

On Basilisk Station by David Weber As her "reward" for failing to make the weapon work the way her superiors feel that it should she is shipped off to Basilisk Station which is perceived as the dumping ground for those out of favor. The rest of the book details how she manages the task she is given her and how she discovers a scheme by the "Republic of Haven" to capture Basilisk Station and tells with it. Once there, the senior officer on station, Pavel Young, tells Honor that he is taking his ship back for a refit and that she will have to patrol the entire area with her small ship. www.wizardskeep.org /mainhall/reading/basil.html

B is for BookLog a distinct advantage of on basilisk station is that it can be read online for free ! and the military has actually put some thought into the fact that a space battle would be pretty bumpy - there are stabilizer frames attached to every station so, say, the tactical officer can keep firing weapons because he won't get knocked out of his seat. www.cs.oberlin.edu /~jbf/booklog.html

Eagle's Path: Comment on On Basilisk Station I don't know how well or not that might give you for the rest of the series, but On Basilisk (which I'd give a 6, but I also have a much more forgiving suspension) is very much the rough start. This doesn't mean your suspension of disbeleif isn't going to stretch, but I've had a lot more enjoyment once the 'obvious' state you mentioned finally moved into new territory (and that wasn't long.) The book is much more a laying of foundation, and one thing Weber did do pretty well was make nothing extraneous, ultimately. journals.eyrie.org /mt/mt-comments?entry_id=75

Archived Weblog Entry - 01/20/2003: "On Basilisk Station and The Honor of the Queen" The plot of On Basilisk Station is simple: The Manticorans control a place called Basilisk Station, a corner-of-the-galaxy place where lots of traffic flows through but no one wants to go. She turns the Station around and starts collecting lots in prize money from smuggled cargo, inciting the local cartels. It is an assignment where deadbeats are sent to end their careers, and Harrington is sent because she embarrassed an Admiral with a weapon the Admiral devised. www.matthewmaynard.net /archives/00000052.htm

Honor Harrington on Basilisk Station Overall, "Honor Harrington on Basilisk Station" is readable-- it's not really bad sci fi-- but it just didn't grab me. There are many other Honor Harrington books (this is the one introducing the character), and I suppose she will naturally gain some depth in the later books, but I probably won't seek these out. In "Honor Harrington on Basilisk Station," David Weber does a nice job of just making equality normal and unremarkable.

SF Citations for OED Malcolm Farmer submitted a cite from a 1999 reprint of David Weber's 1993 "On Basilisk Station". Our picture shows the practice areas in use by suited and unsuited vacationers, the illusion of actually being in space enhanced by the sight of a shuttle craft approaching one of the station's receiving bays. Huge, blue-white sparks spat and glared about her, silent in the vacuum of the shattered drive compartment, and Boatswain MacBride grabbed one of her suited repair party and literally dragged the man into position. www.jessesword.com /sf/view/1092
