You should try to get copies of the Honor Harrington books read by Madelyn Buzzard. She did a number of the books in the series that are available free through the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, if you know someone who meets the criteria for that site. Her versions are much better than Allyson Johnson's, IMO.
