short and sweet story set in the Northern Star/Southern Cross universe. Would love to hear more about these two. - Anonymous - Feb-04-2008    Great action and storyline, the characters were great. I don't usually like reading stories this short, but this worked well. - juliemania - Oct-04-2008    What a wonderful conclusion to North Star and Southern Cross. - Intl Warrior - Jul-06-2010    This story is short however it has some of the best fighting scenes (mostly aerial) that I've read. Nice job with the storyline, too. I love the spiritual depth Windstar gives to her stories through the characters and circumstances. A wonderful read. Thank you, Windstar! And the Athenaeum for hosting these treasures!!!!!! - Teresa - Aug-23-2012

Finding Honor by Windstar     

Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative (Mature) | Drama | Novella - 99 pages | Finished | Cast: Aeris, Samantha, Andrew, Grayson, Nimitz, Joseph, Allison Honors/Awards:  #72 in 2005
Brilliant! Speaking as someone that has read David Weber's wonderful series a number of times, including all the adjacent books, this is wonderfully written by an author that really knows the universe and the very specific character personalities in quite some detail, and honestly it is just lovely to read Honor finally doing that which I always prayed she would and knew was ultimately what she should; fall for a woman :) - Ryath - May 16th, 2005    A great Conqueror style tale, well spun. - St0rm - Aug 14th, 2005    Excellent story!! Very well written, wow!!! - anonimo - Mar-10-2007    It's one of the BEST stories I've ever read! Really great!! - Conny - Jul-11-2007    Great story! Any chance of a sequel pllllleeeeaasssseeee? - julie - Jul-12-2007    Most excellent read!! I absolutely loved it!! - JC - Nov-26-2007    I really liked this story. Actually I like everything Windstar has written and this one was excellent. - juliemania - Oct-04-2008    There's a paucity of Honor fanfic around, so it absolutely made my day to come across a piece of this quality. Thank you very much for an enjoyable read. - Seika - Mar-14-2009    That was wonderful, and exactly what I always wanted for Honor - a woman in her life. I would love for there to be a sequel! - Aerows - Sep-22-2009    Excellent story. The author does a damn good job of sticking close enough to the books for believability. Aeris is an interesting and three dimensional original character, and exactly the person I wish David Weber would add to the series. - Law-Nerd - Dec-05-2009    I've spent the last few months reading all of the Honor books. My one wish was that Honor would have a girlfriend and "Finding Honor" was the perfect answer. Honor needs more stories like this. Thanks, Windstar - Pat.I. - Dec-11-2009    Extremely well-written with a fully fleshed out world and absolutely engaging characters. I have not read the book this world is based upon, but I didn't need to. I was fully immersed and it was awesome. - Kerr - Dec-31-2009    Great story. Even if you have never read a Honor Harrington novel, you will still like this. - RB - May-12-2010

Wonderful story! I hope this is only the second in a long series of stories involving these charming heroes... - jaeygatsby - Dec-02-2007    What an awesome story! It was really well written- the characters really came to life and the plot was well thought out. There will be another installment of this series, yeah? Please? - Anonymous - Oct-04-2008    OH!!!!! this was very cool. This is my favorite. Hopefully you will be inspired to expand on this storyline and characters. I could spend a weekend with them. - juliemania - Oct-04-2008    Very enjoyable. Looking forward to another story. - RB - Oct-17-2008

Northstar by Windstar     

Original / Uber | Futuristic | Alternative | Drama | Novel - 200 pages | Finished | Oct-08 Part 1 of the North Star Series Series List: Northstar, Southern Cross, Battle For Mars
Wonderful! A futuristic love tale filled with amazing battles, incredibly smart wit and complex and compelling characters. Don't miss this one. - Anonymous - Feb-04-2008    In the last 15 years i've read many many stories online. As you can imagin they range from painfully hard to read, to those that I wish I had a hardcopy of to read again and again. Northstar and Southern Cross fall into the latter catagory. It was very well done and kept my attention all the way through. I bow to your ability Windstar... I wish I had your skill in writing. - Skyfire - Jul-05-2008    Great Story Line keep these two charactors going would love to read more about Emily and Julie. - Maismore - Jul-15-2008    It just sucks you in. Very very good. - RB - Oct-21-2008    An incredibly well thought-out and written sci-fi tale of a race of humanoids who been hiding in plain sight on earth suddenly having to not only "come out" but to ask for help when their highly destructive -- and hungry -- enemy discover their new home here on earth. Excellent, period. The follow on Southern Cross somehow manages to be even better -- squinty - Anonymous - Apr-03-2014

Engaging tale that firmly kept my attention. - Juanita Joubert - Mar-25-2008    Can't believe I missed this the first time around! Great read, any chance for a bit more from this world? - Liz - Mar-27-2008    This story is an amazing journey into the imagination. It's "The Princess Bride" meets "D&D Manual". It's a great use of lore, and very much appreciated. - Aerows - Sep-23-2009    Ha dragons ! Not so many fics about them around, at least not many of my taste, but this one is well-written, well thought, not too cheesy even though a bit nostalgic, worth the read really. A good job. - Mani - Nov-24-2009
