When a storyteller of any variety starts to tell a tale, there is always a back story. All of those pieces and parts that added together to make the person the total sum of the human being (or alien…we do love science fiction after all…) that they are. You might not get the full story, but the writer will sometimes stop and give you a few details so that you, too, can know where this character came from and why they have this particular set of skills or that particular dislike for green-skinned demons. Call it the gamer in me, but I really love how you can see a clear progression as a character grows and accumulates new skills and abilities and becomes more they ever thought possible!
In the upcoming House of Steel, BuNine has assembled a unique visual depiction of Honor Harrington’s journey. Now you can see the uniforms of the Manticorans, the Graysons, and the Havenites as the author imagined them, plus get page by page descriptions of technical details for everything from ships to weapons to governments.
Can you tell we’re excited?
