Most sci-fi books these days focus more on the "fi" and less on the "sci." This usually makes the books seem ignorant and dull. This is not the case, however, with Honor Bound. This book brings real life physical and technological science in to play and creates a remarkably possible scenario. I was thoroughly impressed and hope to see more works from Dr. Howe.

Dr. Howe writes a book worthy of praise for the fictional story and worthy of praise for the factual scientific background. Hawk, Rowdy, and company are well developed characters and the whole story moves along at a brisk pace. Exciting and refreshing. SCI-FI returned to the roots. Buy it, put it alongside your Asimov.

The pictures are nice but there's a lesson here--in the way society rewards people. I like the old Yes records as much as anybody, but not because of Steve Howe. His thickety-thickety tone & choppy, sloppy runs are not exactly soulful.

There are so many players, from shredders to jazz masters with real talent and heart. But this guy ends up with so much money, he can't spend it all.

By the way, not only does he take all these beautiful guitars out of circulation; he often carves them up with "modifications" some of which are bizarre to say the least (a Les Paul with 4 humbuckers? Cool, Steve).

And don't forget to read about his guitar "tree" where he clamps the poor things to a wacky "lazy susan". The only thing this collection is missing is one of those Hamer guitars with six identical necks, like Rick Nielson has.

Superb book on the Steve Howe guitar collection. I find this book very insightful regarding Steve`s tastes in guitars and the instruments he chooses (and displays in this book) for recording purposes.
I couldn`t help but notice another review on this page in which the author trys to belittle the talents of Mr. Howe. He likes the book but not the guitarist? The pundit in question must not be a guitarist......

For those who have enjoyed The music of Steve Howe, whether in the group YES, ASIA,GTR, or His many solo works, this book is a real treat. Steve shares his many stories of Guitar collecting in depth. Reading these stories are infectious and entertaining. It is hard to put this book down after reading it. The pictures are beautiful, The guitarist is excellent, and the book is worth every Dollar.

This book was extremely helpful to campers of all levels. I have been camping for quite some time and still learned a lot of tips on how to make your trip as enjoyable and environmentaly friendly as possible. Anyone considering a day hike or longer should read this first.
