new Honorverse book coming in 2024 - Yay!

I was just on Amaxon and two new David Weber books for 2024 popped up. "Toll of Honor" and "To challenge heaven." Hooray, I am now looking forward to 2024 even though, as affects us all, it means that I am indeed another year older as well. Not saying that I have hurt myself merely sleeping, just not as spry as I used to be. Just sayin!

Anyway, looking forward to more of RFC's fabulous work. I havent been in the forum in some months and he's gone dark on youtube too. I will ckeck in every now and again for more info as the release date approaches.

Yeah

I hope they will be published in German fast!

But allow me a question, I've read this some times...What is RFC?

RFC = Runsforcelery: Runs for celery
Runsforcelery = David Weber's name here on the forum's.

To be clear To Challenge Heaven is the third book in the series that includes Out of the Dark and Into the Light; so not an Honorverse book.

Toll of Honor has been discussed recently in this forum as being contemporary with Field of Dishonor and features Lieutenant Brandy Bolgeo after the Battle of Hancock.

As someone who has been enjoying Casualfarmer's "Beware of chicken" series, To Challenge Heaven made me think for an instant that RFC is dipping into the Xanxia genre...

So excited to wait for these two new books. In what month will these two books be released?

Hello Larry. Welcome to the forum!

Toll of Honor is going to be published on April 2, 2024. It's billed as "Honor Harrington Book 20" (the numbering doesn't add up; every other book is supposed to have "Honor" in the title, but book 19 was Uncompromising Honor). It's unclear whether this will advance the plot against the MAlign, fill some backstory we'll need for the future books, or both.

To Challenge Heaven is not an HH book. It's the third in the Out of the Dark series, co-written with Chris Kennedy, with publication date January 16, 2024. They also have "The Other Guys" but in that universe no one knows who those may be (yet). See the sub-forum.

Therefore it is hard to see it having anything to do with the Malign, which was not known at that time. Instead it might be more about the politics around Pavel Young. So I am guessing backstory, without necessarily any relevance; unless she is a character that will be added going forward.

It might jump forward in time.

But I agree, it's unlikely.
