Product Description
The Royal Manticoran Navy as You have Never Seen It Before! This soft cover coffee table book has information on the Royal Manticoran Navy from David Weber's Honor Harrington universe, ranging from the founding and battle histories to detailed class histories and size comparison charts of the ships, to layouts of the pinnaces and rank insignia! Much of this material has never been published elsewhere, and this book is an official concordance of data on the Manticoran Navy, with material written by David Weber himself!

 Sometimes you have to judge the book by its cover February 5, 2008

If I could have bought this for a reduced price as a PDF, I would rate it at 4 stars. Unfortunately, that's not an option.
Jayne's Intelligence Review is an incredible in-depth look at the Manticoran Navy of 1905 PD shortly after the Honor Harrington series opens. It has a detailed review of every combat ship class, uniforms, history, tactics, and even a look at the Manticoran Marines within its admittedly slim 64 pages. For $30 plus shipping more content would be nice, but I can understand the cost given the small production run and the fact that every right-hand page is a full color plate.
What's not acceptable is the cheap construction. The cardstock cover and non-glossy pages began separating as soon as I opened the book. I figure the spine will last perhaps four or five readings until I have to rebind the book myself. That's inexcusable at any price.
Overall, great content, horrible job at the printer. If an update ever comes out I would certainly buy it- provided it comes as an ebook.
 Way out of date September 18, 2007

The book was published last year (2006), but it is very out of date. There is nothing in there that dates past "The Short Victorious War".

Wonderful illustrations and descriptions of the ships and situations in Honor's universe. A perfect companion to the fiction and with the new games coming out an excellent tool to learn what it's all about.
The Honorverse reference! January 26, 2007

The first of a serie of books that promise to be full of interesting data for all the fans of David Weber and his Honorverse. This book begins the description of the Royal Manticoran Navy and its ships, weapons, ranks, uniforms... A fantastic product.
I'm now waiting eagerly for the second book in the serie depicting the People's Navy which should be released really soon: "Jayne's Intelligence Review: The People's Republic Navy".
And for french fans...
Le premier ouvrage d'une serie de livres de reference abordant l'univers de Honor Harrington cree par David Weber. Cette ouvrage qui aborde la Marine Royale Manticorienne en passant en revue les uniformes, les grades, les differentes armes et equipements, ainsi bien sur que les vaisseaux de guerre, sera un ajout tres utile a la bibliotheque des accrocs a l'Honorverse. D'autres ouvrages suivront comme celui qui devrait etre disponible sous peu sur la Marine de la Republique Populaire de Havre.
Excellent Book! January 4, 2007

This is a must have for all those fans of David Weber's Honerverse.
The first in a series of books covering the political entities in the honorverse. It gives background info into the Manty navy and marines. The layout of the book is excellent. Every right handed page is in colour, which is treat to behold and adds character to the book.
A very excellent book and I can't wait for the rest in the series.
