possible copyright problems[edit]

An external link here is to the entire text of the novel in a form (and apparently with software from) released by the publisher / author for personal use only. It is not covered by the GDFL, though this may not be a strict requirement for external links.

Can we have this link here? Opinions would be welcome. ww (talk) 07:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

@Cunard Anything you can dig up here? I've added one review mentioned in ISFDb, and I see Publisher's Weekly on the web... that's not much for now, and Deep Magic seems to be a fanzine [1] :( _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:06, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Piotrus (talk · contribs). Here are some sources about the book Crown of Slaves:

"Crown of Slaves by David Weber and Eric Flint, Baen, 9/03, $25, ISBN 0-7434-7148-2". Science Fiction Chronicle. Vol. 25, no. 8. September 2003. p. 36. ISSN 0195-5365. Retrieved 2023-06-08 – via Internet Archive.
The review notes: "This new collaborative novel doesn't involve Honor Harrington, but it's set in that same setting, and like the others, it evokes the spirit of early space opera. Berry Zilnicki is a young girl who agrees to help serve as a double for the daughter of a star traveling notable, and she and her father find themselves in the middle of interstellar politics, troubled alliances, and possibly even a shooting war. A satisfying light adventure from two writers who seem to be hitting their stride."
Green, Roland (2003-09-15). "Weber, David and Flint, Eric. Crown of Slaves". Booklist. Vol. 100, no. 2. p. 219. Archived from the original on 2023-06-08. Retrieved 2023-06-08 – via Gale. {{cite magazine}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 2023-06-10 suggested (help)
The review notes: "The ensuing action, powered by Weber and Flint's hallmark breathless pacing and larger-than-life characters (literally, in the case of Solarian League marine lieutenant Thandi Palane), fills the book very nicely."
"Crown of Slaves". Publishers Weekly. Vol. 250, no. 35. 2003-09-01. pp. 68+. Archived from the original on 2023-06-08. Retrieved 2023-06-08 – via Gale. {{cite magazine}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 2023-06-10 suggested (help)
The review notes: "Despite the authors' opposing political views, they have managed, in a rare and impressive display of bipartisanism, to blend Edmund Burke and Carlos Marighella into an intriguing synthesis that should appeal to readers of both persuasions. This outstanding effort transcends the label "space opera" and truly is a novel of ideas."

What Do I Read Next? 2004: A Reader's Guide to Current Genre Fiction. Vol. 1. Detroit: Gale. p. 304. ISBN 0-7876-7091-X. ISSN 1052-2212. Retrieved 2023-06-08 – via Internet Archive.
The book notes: "Summary: Anton Zilwicki may be getting old, but he's still a trusted soldier and his opinions about providing security on an interstellar voyage carry a lot of weight. When his teenaged daughter agrees to help impersonate a young noblewoman, the plot gets more involved with each chapter."
