 Excellent Reference Book December 22, 2006

The Jayne's Intelligence Review series from Ad Astra Games promises to be one of the most exciting products to come down the pike from a company already well-known for its realistic and exactingly researched game materials. The first volume, The Royal Manticoran Navy, is a resource guide for the delight of any Honorverse fan. With David Weber's stamp of approval, this slim volume tells you all about the Star Kingdom of Manticore from the Honor Harrington series of novels and short story collections. Between its covers you will find complete data on all of the starships of the RMN as well as uniforms, ranks, organization, weapons, skinsuits, powered battle armor, tactics, and astrography.
This series is intended to give useable background information for wargamers and roleplayers alike, but it is also an excellent resource guide for anyone who has read of the adventures of Honor Harrington in David Weber's series of Napoleonic space opera.
I definitely award this book five stars and I am certainly looking forward to the companion volume on the Peoples Navy of Haven (which should be out in a couple of months).
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.
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.

James M. Power (Miami, FL United States)
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.
 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".
