The only piece in this that has good narration is "A Beautiful Friendship", read by Khristine Hvam. "The Grand Tour" sounds like it's being read by an automaton, and "A Whiff of Grapeshot" just... isn't worth it. Even if the audiobook had been divided or labelled in a way that would make it easy to find the start of each story in the anthology, it wouldn't have been worth bothering, and it isn't.

"The Universe of Honor Harrington" is an in-depth technical piece like the blueprints released of the SS Enterprise (though much less popular), and that's no good at all in audio, unless you need it for accessibility purposes, because it's the dip-in-dip-out reference type of "story". Better just keep your battered secondhand paperback for dipping into, if you want to find a technical detail to write fanfiction or some such thing.

All in all, you're better off snagging the full book "A Beautiful Friendship" if you want the story of mankind's discovering the treecats via Honor's ancestress Stephanie, who was mercifully edited into much less of an unrealistic character in the book version (which has the better input of having been co-written by Jane Lindskold), and learning to live with them. Only get this one if you're a completist.

Not worth it unless you're a completist.
