Changer of Worlds is the third anthology of short stories set in David Weber's Honorverse.
It was first published in 2001 and contains the following stories:
Ms. Midshipwoman Harrington[]
by David Weber
- Midshipwoman Honor Harrington embarks on the heavy cruiser HMS War Maiden for her "snotty" cruise, a mission which will take the ship to the chaos-ridden Silesian Confederacy. During her cruise, Honor experiences life on a Manticoran warship, learns from excellent officers and suffers under incompetent ones, and has a tough real-life lesson in command when the War Maiden battles a separatist Silesian ship.
Nightfall[]
by David Weber
- The story of Oscar Saint-Just's accession to power: the ambitious Havenite Admiral Esther McQueen plans a coup against the Committee of Public Safety, but is forced to make her move before time. Her troops fight against State Security forces commanded by Saint-Just throughout the streets of Nouveau Paris. Chairman Pierre is killed in the fighting. The overthrow of the Committee seems imminent and civil war is about to break loose on Haven, until Saint-Just destroys the rebels by blowing up the Octagon, killing 1.3 million citizens.
From the Highlands[]
by Eric Flint
- On the eve of a former Havenite admiral's arrival to Old Earth to testify against the excesses and crimes of the Havenite regime, Helen Zilwicki, daughter of Captain Anton Zilwicki of the Royal Manticoran Navy, finds herself in the midst of an underground fight between StateSec agents, anti-slavery terrorists, mercenaries and an unscrupulous supercorporation (story serves as background for Crown of Slaves).
Changer of Worlds[]
by David Weber
- The treecats Nimitz and Samantha return to their clan after years in space. After hearing first-hand testimony of the perils and dangers of the ongoing First Havenite-Manticoran War, and the possible annihilation the war entails for their race, the treecats make the momentous decision to extend their territory off-world and "colonize" other worlds.
