Overview: Honor Stephanie Alexander-Harrington is a fictional character, the heroine of a series of military science fiction books set in the “Honorverse”, written by David Weber.
An officer in the Royal Manticoran Navy (RMN), the space navy of the Star Kingdom of Manticore, Harrington bears a striking professional resemblance to both the real-life British naval officers Admiral Lord Nelson and Captain Thomas Cochrane, as well as the fictional character Horatio Hornblower. Like Nelson, she loses her left eye and left arm in combat (her eye in Honor of the Queen and her arm in In Enemy Hands); her initials are the same as Hornblower’s, and like all three officers, she has a genius for tactical command.
Other parallels with real history include the political situation. During much of Harrington’s career, her native Star Kingdom of Manticore is at war with the neighboring People’s Republic of Haven (PRH), a conflict that bears more than a passing resemblance to the Napoleonic Wars between the British Empire and France. Some of the battles described in the Honor Harrington series resemble real-life sea battles. For instance, the long stern chase described in On Basilisk Station has some parallels with the actions of HMS Kent at the Battle of the Falklands during World War I.
