"Honor, my favorite space war character, doesn't give up easily when In Enemy Hands. I can't wait for the next".
-- Philadelphia Weekly Press
Product Description
Honor Harrington has faced ship-to-ship combat, assassins, political vendettas and duels. She's been shot at, shot down, and just plain shot; had starships blown out from under her, and made personal enemies who will do anything to ruin her, and she's survived it all. Now she finds herself on board a battlecruiser bound for a prison planet aptly named 'Hell' - and her scheduled execution. Put into solitary confinement, separated from her officers and her treecat Nimitz, and subjected to systematic humiliation by her gaolers, her future has become both bleak and short. Yet the one lesson Honor Harrington has never learned is how to give up ...

This was my least favorite of the Honor Harrington series. The characters were even more cardboard in depth than previous novels.
Someone else's review said "everyone that is good is good and everyone that is bad is bad". I agree completely.
Now, I like the Harrington series, but maybe more for the combat scenes than I had realized (which were very few in this book).

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Harrington saga continues. Of course, the Peeps are still out to win the war that never ends. The create devious plots that challenge Manticore to the utmost. Ms. Harrington is drafted into service again, though her duties as Steadholder are more than enough for one person to deal with. Because of her extreme experiences, the bond between Honor and Nimitz are even stronger, and Honor is constantly fed the feelings of others. Through this she discovers that Earl Hamish Alexander is strongly attracted to her. This proves too much for Ms. Harrington and she uses the opportunity to take command of her new squadron.
Though all other ships are saved, the one that Ms. Harrington is on is captured and Honor is now "In Enemy Hands". Cordelia Ransom, the Peeps PR person, plays this for all it's worth. But keeping Honor and her friends captured might not be as easy as Ransom thinks.
I've enjoyed all of the Harrington books thus far, and this is no exception.

Very good book in the Honor Harrington series. As it says in the blurb on the cover, this one ends up with a fight she DOESN'T win (a refreshing change). I would buy this book together with the next in the series (Echoes of Honor) as when you've finished it, you won't be able to wait to find out what happens next!

On the whole it is a good space opera.
It is a good space opera and it keeps the Honor Harrington storyline going. I hope that more of these books will be released.

Entertaining
A good read if you are already into the series, but not the book to sell you on the series.
The parallels between this series and the Hornblower series are deliberate,... Read more
