The formidable problem of automatic or semi-automatic composition of existing Web services is the subject of much current attention.
In SWORD, a service is represented by a rule that expresses that given certain inputs, the service is capable of producing particular outputs.
We show that although SWORD's expressive capabilities are weaker, the abstractions it exposes capture more appropriately the limited kinds of queries supported by typical Web services and thus result in simplicity and efficiency.

 BookLoons Reviews - Service of the Sword edited by David Weber
Anyone who has made the acquaintance of Honor Harrington (David Weber's remarkable female protagonist who is arguably 'the finest captain or her generation') will be delighted with this anthology set in Honor's universe.
In short, The Service of the Sword not only provides hair-raising entertainment, it fills in areas that not even the most prolific writer can hope to cover.
Although it is not essential to read the novels that present Honor Harrington's history and career first, it would certainly help in terms of appreciating the richness added by these guest writers to the overall saga.
