| On Basilisk Station |
 ISBN: 1416509372 Baen (2005), Mass Market Paperback, 464 pages LibraryThing | I bought this book because it was cheap a while ago, and only just got around to reading it. Its a pretty standard science fiction story of one naval officer's plight -- incompetent seniors; inadequate equipment; and evil neighbors. The story revolves around a young naval officer named Honor Harrington, who the Internet tells me has her career based around that of Admiral Nelson. This book was an interesting enough story, and doesn't collapse under the weight of cliche like some others do. It was entertaining and I will probably read the rest of the series.
