Talk:At All Costs (Weber novel)

Son?

Is the birth of her child not significant enough to rate a mention? Mdotley 02:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

It is. A son and a daughter, actually. Mazeltov. Go ahead and add! That's what Wikipedia is all about. Debresser (talk) 13:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Anyone have source for David Weber's comments? Citation Needed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Libwolf (talk • contribs) 00:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I added the Chapter 23 reference, and left a message at "User talk:Arch dude" re the Strategy versus Tactics issue. (I suspect they're reversed.) LP-mn (talk) 03:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Hamish's remark was intended as a joking insult, and Honor reacted to it appropriately in the book. The joke comes from the reversal. -Arch dude (talk) 07:33, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus (talk · contribs). Here are some sources about At All Costs:

1. "At All Costs". Publishers Weekly. Vol. 252, no. 37. 2005-09-19. p. 47. Archived from the original on 2023-06-03. Retrieved 2023-06-03.

   The review notes: "Nobody does space opera better than Weber, and his heroine, Honor Harrington, introduced in On Basilisk Station (1993), remains as engaging as ever in the latest tome to chronicle her adventures. ... Reading like a fusion of Horatio Hornblower, Robert A. Heinlein and Tom Clancy, this is easily the best installment in the series to date; one can well imagine that when future star warriors develop their tactics, Weber's narratives will provide a template."

2. Green, Roland (2005-11-01). "Weber, David. At All Costs". Booklist. Vol. 102, no. 5. p. 32. Archived from the original on 2023-06-03. Retrieved 2023-06-03 – via Gale.

   The review notes: "The climax is bloody and fine preparation for at least one more desperate round of fighting. It also leaves Honor reflecting on the price of war in warriors' lives."

   The brief review notes: "David Weber's Honor Harrington series from Baen Books. At All Costs [ISBN: 1-4165-1397-3, $26] carries the story one more step through this epic saga. At 864 pages, this should hold you through a few logs. If not, this book also comes with a CD bound into it containing the text of \ LL of David Weber's other books published with Baen."

   The review notes: "The really good part of this book, however, is not the Alexander-Harringtons, or their lovely children, but the really interesting intrigues going on with Manpower Inc. ... The descriptions of the battles are, as usual, stunning. I don't have the eye for detail or the tactical sense to know whether Weber made any mistakes, but I still really enjoy his realistic-sounding-to-a- layperson battles."

@Cunard Thanks, borderline with three capsules and a fanzine? For now I'll add sources exist to the article but I am not sure if removing notability template is justified. Very borderline... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:51, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
