Both books have been uploaded as RTF files, so anyone can validate them.
I've stripped the headers, spell checked them, then proof read them. The
copyright and ISBN can also be easily verified at www.baen.com.
I ran into a slight problem when saving Worlds of Honor as an RTF file. The
file lost some of the line feeds at the top and bottom of pages, but I think
I've fixed all that were lost.
Both should be a pretty easy validation.

The Hard Way Home, by David Weber
Deck Load Strike, by Roland J. Green
IT?S A PARTY!
In Honor?s Honor, David Weber and Other Top Science Fiction Writers pay a
Visit to Honor Harrington?s Universe-
David Weber has shot to the forefront of science fiction. The core of his
work is Honor Harrington, the toughest, smartest starship captain in the
galaxy.
David Weber himself is on board with two never-before-published excursions
into Honor's universe. First, he tells how young Honor Harrington first
demonstrated
the heroic stuff she was made of when she and her treecat Nimitz face the
impossible task of rescuing the victims of an avalanche in a sub-zero
blizzard.
Weber returns with a chapter in the history of the telepathic treecats, who
are far more intelligent than humans realize, and with whom the right human
can form a close telepathic bond that can be severed only by death. But in
this case, the young human who bonded with a treecat was a Very Important
Person.
Specifically, she was the Manticoran crown princess and heir to the throne
of the empire.
Roland Green, author of the "Starcruiser Shenandoah" series and
the "Peace Company" series, is on board with a hard-hitting account of what
happened when Manticore and the People's Republic of Haven went
eyeball-to-eyeball
over a strategically vital planet.
Linda Evans, "Time Scout" co-author, looks at life among the treecats,
before Honor.
Jane Lindskold, author of the highly-praised fantasy Brother to Dragons,
Companion to Owls, tells how Honor's monarch, Elizabeth III, had to learn
the hard way what monarchy is all about.
The Service of the Sword
Contains six short stories set in Honor Harrington?s universe.
Promised Land-Jane Lindskold
With One Stone-Timothy Zahn
A Ship Named Francis-John Ringo & Victor Mitchell
Let?s Go to Prague-John Ringo
Fanatic-Eric Flint
Service of the Sword-David Weber
WELCOME AGAIN TO THE MANY WORLDS OF HONOR HARRINGTON
Lady Dame Honor Harrington isn't alone. Her life touches others-and their
lives touch hers-directly, or indirectly, whether as a naval officer,
steadholder, or duchess.
In this collection, Jane Lindskold gives us the story of a prince on the
brink of maturity and an extraordinary young Grayson woman named Judith-a
victim of Masadan brutality, who confronts insurmountable odds in a
desperate effort to lead her sisters to freedom- or-death among the stars.
Timothy Zahn weighs in with a story of the heavy cruiser HMS Fearless; a
brilliant young tactical officer on temporarily detached duty; Solarian con
men; secret weapons that aren't quite what they seem to be; naval spies,
spooks, and dirty tricks; courage and honor; and a surprising glimpse into
one of Admiral Sonja Hemphill's most crucial technological innovations.
John Ringo offers his unique blend of nonstop action and deliciously skewed
humor in two offerings. The Peep planet of Prague and its brutally
repressive StateSec regime will never be the same again after the
unscheduled, unofficial, and thoroughly catastrophic visit by a pair of
Manticoran Marines with a most peculiar taste in their holiday destinations.
And then there's the question of what an explosively expanding navy does
with the personnel who can't quite cut the mustard.
Eric Flint tells us the story of an idealistic young StateSec officer who
finds himself in the right place at the right time following the fall of
Oscar Saint-Just. Young Victor Cachat could influence the loyalty of an
entire sector?if
he's only lucky enough to manage to stay alive long enough to try.
And finally, David Weber gives us the tale of the first Grayson midshipwoman
on her "snotty cruise" at a time when internal tensions threaten the entire
future of the Manticoran Alliance and people are about to rediscover the
fact that the Peeps are far from the only predators hiding in the stars.
